I promise you this, if Elecraft designed it, it will be right. They are in business to make good products
At a fair price. Failures would pur them out of business. I would have no reservations on buying any of their products.,I own a KPA500 amp and a P3 Panadapter which beats the pants off any others and requires no external computer. Can't go wrong with Elecraft.

P.s.  The KPA 500 has a linear power supply, not one of those cheap pink/white noise generating switching common mode supplies. Why do you think they have those large RF Chokes built inside? I have proven they make random noises that wipe out even strong signals. My FT-897D is unusable on 2 meters because of the build in switching supplies. They are trash, period..... I use two Yaesu Linear supplies to power my rigs.
Wish Elecraft would start making linear supplies also. You get what you pay for.
