[b]I went through the same thing a year ago.[/b]

I used to ride 17 years ago and decided to get another bike. I was real close to getting the KLX but ended up with a great deal on a left over new 2000 KDX 220 so I got that instead. I'm glad I did. Keep in mind that I rode Enduros when I quit in the 200 A class so I had experience with managing the 2 stroke power - I don't think I would have been happy with the KLX. It has less power than the KDX 220 or even 200 - is mild mannered. I do know that the idler gear needs to be replaced with a stroker one to avoid costly engine damage on the KLX. A problem with that particular model.

However if you are really interested in a good handling well mannered easy to ride in a lazy kind of way bike the KLX is for you. If you desire a little more zip on the trail then  KDX will suit you better. The KLX will probably run much longer on a top end but when that KLX does need one it will be more money to fix.
