INTRO: I am a past K2/100 Kit (fully fleshed out--the K2, not me) owner,
and a present K3/100 FB owner, with also the XV144 outboard unit. Also
in the stable is an ICOM IC-910H. The K3 6 meter section is fleshed out
with a TE0552G, and the 910 works into a TE1452G. So I have 100 watts on
HF

I definitely WOULD NOT choose the KPA500. 500 watts is just too much
for HF, unless one only operates SSB or AM.
I don't think the majority of contesters and DXer K3 owners agree with you.

We are waiting for the KPA5000 er KPA1500

I don't think the majority of contesters and
100 watts to 500 watts is ~7 dB, or just about an S-unit. 7 dB is the
difference between a dipole and a tribander. Clearly there has been a
super amount of interest in the KPA500, and just as clearly, 1500 watts
and a 6-element beam at 90 feet will work to rule. This argument has
been made and
Purely from a VK perspective:
Many times we hear stations from the US calling DX with their beam heading
to VK. Whilst their signal is in the S7 - S9+ we answer the call only to get
reports of S2-S5 with QSB.
We are then proudly told they are using 'Legal Limit' and a 3 element
tri-bander at
