Well, if you want a kilowatt station the Icom IC-7600 and PW-1 offer the
same functionality with a built-in antenna matching circuit.
Curiously, I am getting about 400 watts out of the PW-1 driving it directly
with the KX3 at 12 watts out (no ALC).

Exactly! The K-Line amounts to a fully automated (no tuning or knob
twisting) 500 Watt HF station. Last time I saw that was a Halicrafters
Tornado.
I changed my entire radio desk to create more storage and shelves from the
space formerly used by a large tube amp and the large tuner I used with
it. The K3 and P3 take about the same space the previous HF rig took and
the KPA500 and KAT500 take just slightly more space than the K3 by itself.
In other words, the K-Line is extremely space efficient.
