Yes and Yes I like PSud11 I always use it and learn gradually how to understand it I little more. I usually try what trans I have and select for amps that fit. Often with my scrounging it's more build an amp to suit the parts then the other way around. Always pays to have many amps on the go at once.
The trans I have in mind is 500volts single winding old army transmitter with bolts for taps. That will give you an idea of how big it really is. I understand that the low dcr will cause headaches but didn't consider the start up pulses and vibration's only time and some new soft start modules I bought will tell if it is useable. I used it's matching choke in a supply that worked well. Just polished those threaded taps shiny and bolted solder tabs on.
