There is a massive amount of KX1 information and links to many reviews at:

The 80m band is NOT native to the KX1.  That requires a not particularly easily installed add-on designated in Elecraft's bizarre, illogical, inconsistent, and above all confusing product nomenclature system as KXB3080.

The K1 with a two-band filter board that includes 80m would definitely provide better performance.
