The $5K part just isn't going to happen...ever.
Bare naked 500W KPA500 factory built sans tuner costs $2300 multiply
times 3 and you get $6900 still sans tuner.
When you go up in output and duty cycle you go up in cost, especially if
using solid state devices and the requisite anti-stupid hardware and
firmware to keep your average ham from roasting transistors.
