"The only advantage of a switcher is weight."

I wouldn't say the *only* advantage. What about universal, wide input voltage/frequency range? I have some Meanwell 1500w DC supplies here that are 47-63Hz, 90-264VAC input. The switcher would also be regulated. A regulated supply to the PA will result in better overall IMD specs too.
