I totally agree with your last statement. I sell a couple of small kits, and also offer them assembled. Even though the hardest one takes less than 8 hours to build, a third of all orders are for assembled.

As to the title of this thread -- I don't think that Elecraft can "take over". Consider: in their heyday, Heathkit didn't "take over" the ham radio market. Certainly they were wildly popular -- but there were plenty of companies that sold built equipment. And that was in an age when completely homebrew stations were the norm.

Today, things are different. Appliance operators rule, and the kit- built rig is an exception. It would be difficult to overcome that bias in order to "take over".
