Another advantage is that the L network always gives you only one match, at
the lowest Q, minimizing the stress on the tuner. With a Pi network, there
are many possible matching combinations at varying Q's, so if you run high
power, you can really stress your tuner without knowing.

Yes, but an L-network is easily configurable, and if it is dedicated to a
particular installation of a particular 160M wire, once you figure out which
one you need, you hardwire it and you're done. No messy switching.
