Thanks to all for the great advice and opinions. FWIW...I will get the amp first, then the autotuner. All I have to do now is to sell my Collins R-390 to get the money :-)

If your antenna(s) present a suitable load, you really don't need the KAT at all, so I'd go with the KPA. You might want the tuner for operation away from your station, add it second. The KPA comes with some hardware [shield plate and maybe a stiffener bracket], it's been so long I really don't remember. Someone here on the list will, I'm sure.
