Tom,

The KAT2 (and KAT100) has 8 inductors and 8 capacitors to choose from -
in 256 steps.  The KXAT1 has only 3 inductors and 3 capacitors - only 7
steps.
That information is available right at the front of the manual in the
Specifications section.  If the desire was for a tuner that would work
as well as the KAT2, then a quick glance at the Specifications would
tell whether it would even come close.  All things Elecraft are not
created equal - things that have to be crammed into small spaces must
provide some limits, and in this particular case it is a significantly
reduced matching range.

73,
Don W3FPR
