KX3 may be a good option when you can use a 500W-1KW amplifier directly and when the speech processor in KX3 is mature.
There are low-drive options circulating for ALS600 and KPA500, and forthcoming (for 2 years) 15 lb Expert 1.3K has a module that requires only 1-2 watts for full power. In SSB the last time I tried, KX3 was getting 2-3 S lower reports than K3 at same peak power level. There was a firmware revision recently but apparently not big changes.
