> I really want a  KX1, but would consider a K1...

KX1 = No 15 meter coverage (nor any band above 20 meters).  That's bad for the next
      few years of solar activity.

K1  = Excellent 15 meter coverage.  Excellent QRP band when open, as is now common.

The 17 meter band is also available officially.  The other high bands can be home-brewed.
But 15 meters is the best of them all.  

The K1 has a significantly better overall receiver (and transmitter) as added incentive.
