I've had SteppIR antennas since 07. I have both a vertical and a beam. I run a K3 with KPA500 in the shack. I have no relays. When changing frequencies within a band the antennas are pretty fast. When changing bands, especially from say 80 to 10 or 40 -15 it can take several seconds for the antenna to adjust. I've never run into a situation where I thought I had to transmit faster than the antenna can adjust. I simply wait until the tuning led on the antenna controller goes out and then I can transmit. I'm not sure what could possibly be so urgent that I might have to transmit before the antenna stops adjusting. No danger to the K3 or the KPA500 by showing a tiny bit of patience.
