I just finished K2 #5945 and am antsy to get the KPA100 on the air ;) My build time for the basic K2 was about 45 hours. Build time for the KPA100 was about 8. I remember being surprised at how quickly it went together, and that it worked perfectly the first time. Also, wondering about the KDSP2 (looks quick) and KNB2 (also looks quick). A couple of hours each.

RE: [Elecraft] build time for KPA100
I found the KPA to go pretty quickly after I got the proper wheel for my Dremel. You're supposed to take the anodizing off the heat sink in specific places, and going at hard anodizing with a piece of emery cloth made me go nuts. The dremel attachment (a tiny wire brush) was great for taking the paint off of the case where grounding was needed as well.
