Here's the thing.  The KDX220 that I rode (2002) had great bottom.  Flip of the rist and the front end easily would come off the ground and pretty smooth at that.  My KX250 (1999), seems to sputter at the low end.  Mid to top end the KX fly's.  I guess when I compare the KDX to the KX, I see the KDX as geared much lower with great low end throttle response.

If I can get my KX250 go jump out of a slow start without sputtering and if I can get my KX to do down a hill slowly without me having to always pull in the clutch, I'll be happy.  I loved how how I could go down a hill pretty slow on the KDX and not have to pull the clutch.  Also, poping the throttle to bring up the front tire anytime you want is also very desirable.

But, I'm 6'2", 200lbs and the KDX 220 actually felt a little small for me compared to my KX250.  I think size of the rider can play a big part in choosing which bike as well.

I've got the FMF pipe, FMF Q Silencer and just put a 50 tooth sproket on.  I still need to hit the hills, but my guess is that my jetting may be out of whack.
