"The plan" was to get a tilt tower, so I don't have to climb and that
works great.
I also pre-paid for the KPA1500 and then once it arrived had to wait (2
years) for the shack to be built (else no 240V). I don't regret this
because Elecraft HAS the reputation for being the best at product and
service; they understand much better than the other brands.
No one has a guarantee to tomorrow, but there are signs of hope around.

Climb safely.
Thankfully, I've never had a chance to hazard that much money -- though I
did just get a backordered SharkRF OpenSpot3. :)

If I had the money to put up in advance I would "front" the money to
Elecraft, based on the K3. And I did purchased kpa1500 in advance.
I purchased Orion before it was produced based on most of the previous
Tentec radio too.
But I confess that while I do turn 70 years old in September, I am in
excellent shape, still climbing towers.
Time can be an important factor, but who doesn't know that?

From where I sit on the Right Coast, I'd be reluctant to front ANYONE that
amount of cash, reputation notwithstanding. Heck, George Z at Packtenna
couldn't until recently even get the antenna wire from Wireman. Stuff
happens. Supply chains bend and break.

Hence my frustration. I not only am impatient about getting the Shiny
(surprise), I feel deceived about how it has been handled by someone
sitting on thousands of dollars of my cash.
