Amplifier help?

k1tgx
Well after waiting almost 4 months it seems the US distributor that I ordered my 2k-fa amp from has gone qrt, permanently (Expert Amps USA). I chose them over the other US distributor because I though they looked more stable. Bad choice but it brought me to the realization of the dangers when dealing with '1 horse' companies. SPE in Italy appears to be the real deal but these two (now one) US distributors give me a less than warm & fuzzy. So as much as I really wanted the 2k-fa, I'm now in the market for an amp compatible with the k3s.

What I want in an amp (or as much of it as I can get):
160-6 coverage
Auto antenna tuner
Auto operation when connected to the k3s so I can operate the rig remotely and only have to worry about monitoring the amp (it will automatically follow the transmitter, select the appropriate antenna and tune itself.
Full legal limit + rated so I can operate with 'headroom' to spare.

That's pretty much what the 2k-fa offered but I haven't been able to find a similar amp. The OM looks close. . .

Any suggestions?
