For exactly the reason you mention, I'm not a fan of built-in tuners. They limit flexibility.
Like you, I am limited to one antenna but don't consider it an impediment - my dipole is thaaaaat close (holding fingers 1 inch/2.54 cm apart) to having 300 countries to its credit. 271 of those are at 100 watts and it's time to go after the rest, thus the amp. For others needing help in justifying its purchase, I offer the following.
