Why settle for KX3-2M? Why not KX3-2M/70cm?

[LA8OKA]

Why settle for KX3-2M? Why not KX3-2M/70cm?
This pretty much says it I think.
Why settle for only 2 m, why not also include 70 cm in the KX3-2M?
With a 2 m and 70 cm module available the KX-3 will complete replace the FT-817, at least in my travel kit.

Hi Martin,

A 2-m module is difficult enough given how little space is available.  
We'd like to do other VHF/UHF bands, but I'm not sure if it's  
possible. It would be fun to try.

Wayne, I'm sure that you can pull it out!
 
I'm going to order the 2 m module when it becomes available, but if it will be possible to replace the 2 m module with a 2 m/70 cm module later on, I will be the first in line to do so. 2 m/ 70 cm will add the capability to work satellites with the KX3 and of course add a new band.
