I wouldn't switch entirely - I rather like those combo jacks - a very neat arrangement. Perhaps just add a 4 pin socket as well - plenty of room on the Home and Max.

Though, a 4 pin socket gives the wrong idea to K1K users in a way - those amps really aren't designed to have enough juice for the K1K, even balanced.
