Elecraft tuners are optional.  But they also work phenomenally well and are worth every penny you pay for them.

I had a long journey with my Elecraft tuners. I started with a K3/10. I then added a T1 tuner so I could use the tuner with other QRP radios. This setup worked quite well, if not a conveniently as an internal tuner in a K3.

Then my wife, after watching me work QRP in CQP with marginal antennas said, "Oh go out and get the 100W amp." The order went out very quickly, before she could change her mind. I had some matched antennas and they worked well at 100W and I reduced power for the bands which needed the T1.

After hitting the T1 with 100W a couple of times -- it survived and still works well -- I got the internal tuner in the K3. I'm a happy camper.
