Building time for a KPA100

I'm giving some thought to building the KPA100 in the separate enclosure. Can someone give me an idea on how long it would take to build? I realize that this is very subjective, but I'd like to get a general idea, say relative to building a basic K2.

Thanks

> Do the KPA100 first. Once that's done and tested the KAT100 will go quickly.
