I've been using my QRP K2 for the last 2-3 years with a "full sized" Palstar tuner. I use a variety of antennas from 160 to 10 meters, fed with coax, ladder line, choke baluns, the Elecraft balun, etc. I'm thinking about going to an auto tuner (Dayton Hamvention coming). Has anyone compared the efficiencies of the very small tuner like the T1, the KAT2, and larger tuners like the Palstar? (I've been the Johnson KW Matchbox route as well.) Intuition tells me there is something lost when going to very small components packed into a tiny space compared to large air variables, big roller inductors, etc., but I don't have anything to back up that gut feel. Anyone make any measurements?
