I am glad you asked that question Lizzy. I am slowly converting all my diatonic to PB tuned Session Steels and the 1847s myself.

So if I order the kit, all I would need it compatible reedplates in my desired tuning and covers?

Fantastic.
I look forward to the small than a chromatic form factor, so I can have a pocket PC.

I will definitely be up for a couple of keys for a PC Lucky 13. The "PCLY13?"

I have been tempted to try PC but is unsure what benefits i can use with it compaired to what i already are using. I have used halfvalved powerbender since it came out. My goal with it was to be able to play all chromatic notes. That is achieved and i can play all 12 major scales but maybe i am are...

I asked up a bit further how to do it for PC tuning, which is close to what you have done. Given his comment that "You don't want to put any valves in that...

You don't want to put any valves in that will interfere with the airflow between active red and x-reed. Assuming you put your x-reeds on the bottom reedplate (as with the ChromaBender), and it's in Solo tuning, you should not put on any inside valves holes 1-3 or an outside valve on hole 4 (or the ...

I just finished making my own chromabender. ..... The one I finished is in C, made from 270 reedplates. C6 tuning. @CrawfordE I am working on the same thing. If you don't mind me asking, how did you set up the valves on the X-reed plate? Or did you set up any on them at all. That seems to be a piec...
