Small pedal w/no profiling ability... a profile player! All you'd have to take to the gig is your pedalboard, and you'd still be able to download profiles from the site. And face it: most people don't make many profiles of their own.
Like me ....
I've never profiled something, just need 3 or 4 good Sounds and all the effects!
And even if they'd sell it for the same price or more, it would worth it 
While I've typically been a fan of floorboards (may have even praised the alternate designs in this thread), I must say the Kemper form factor has been a breath of fresh air. My biggest complaint with using floor boards and traditional MFX is the last minute gig adjustments are somewhat ackward. I love all the dedicated controls on the face plate and appreciate not having to get down on the floor to make adjustments. I started the shift away from floorboards with the Digitech GSP1101, and with the Kemper I'm not likely to go back to floorboards at this point.
The cost for a small floorboard version don't have to be much lower at all - the benefit for the user comes later, when he pays the tickets for his tours.There are airlines that charge 50 Euro per trip for every 5 Kg of overweight plus, more important, toughest size restrictions.
It's true, Kemper's investment has been made in software - so why not offer the same software in two different enclosures for two different purposes both at nearly the same price?
I am definitely shure that in a few years time the enclosure of the KPA 2.0 will certainly be much a smaller anyway!
I see where you come from, and the idea of selling a player at about the same price is somehow interesting, even tho I'm not able to foresee the market share for such a device
As for the KPA 2.0, not sure how much you can shrink it w\o missing some interface control. It might be reduced in depth, but you'd miss the possibility of retrofitting the amp.
Eng Kemper stated that he wanted the KPA to stand out when compared to the "usual" rack look... even tho... a green rack... would stand out anyway

The Kemper's distinctive looks got a lot of attention at my last band rehearsal and I think is a big plus regarding brand recognition. there's no way you'll mistake it for something else and those who've never seen one are bound to be curious...
Ughhh.... I don't even want to think about a new Kemper until the current edition is fully developed!
You guys come up with some great designs though!
That actually looks pretty cool!
THIS! Just please let this be true! NAMM or Musikmesse 2013? Bring it on!
DEAR SANTA .... !!!! 
C'mon guys, it is a professional photoshop rendering - nicely done - but the design is now just another rack.
If you like it as a rack securely fastened in a box, just use the screws on the side to attach some big metal ears (steel or alumnium), which extend to the rack size. It will be then 5 rackunits high.
I'm not good with photoshop...
I love the Kemper design - and now in a rack 
The recognition of the form factor is preserved. 3 Allen screws to each side and sits tight in the rack. This could be a supplement (Zubehör) product of Kemper!

PS: The "ears" on both sides offer enough real estate for a stereo light show 
Racks are so darn upperclass.
Professional photoshop or not, that rack looks absolutely perfect,I wouldn't change a thing, except maybe headphones on back of rack. This is exactly to the T what kemper should design for a rackmount.

Very good Idea, an simple too !
... It could provide space for some wireless antenna's
The Relay G50 would fit there if you drill 2 holes for the antennas....

Thank you. Great idea, too! If the KPA is rack mounted off center, there would be ample space, even for a small radio telescope! 
I much prefer rackmounted units. What about rackmount with a twist to be able to keep something similar to the current control layout? It should be possible to fit the KPA in 2U, but with display and controls mounted on a "shelf" inside the unit that pops out from the front and rotates up 90 degrees for use.
WOW, now we've reached more than 200 votes. Keep going dudes!
And, it seems the amount of guys who like the original KPA is dropping below 50% (at 100 votes they were more than 60%)

If someone made this "ears" solution... I would buy it ! Great idea !

Any metal workshop can make it for maybe 30-40$

Well, if there are a couple of orders, I might do it. Let me do a drawing and I have it calculated.
