I agree.  In fact I would even think about a K2/100.  For one thing, if 
you want to practice CW, you will need to have some good, long QSOs. 
It's harder to do this with QRP, although the 10-15 watts you will get 
from a basic K2 is better than the 3-4 watts from the KX1.

I have taken my K2 on several camping trips and while it is not 
pocket-sized like the KX1, it is certainly acceptably small and light 
unless you are into serious backpacking.
