I had the X-pect and sold it. I discovered I didn't like that the seat keeps me practically on the tank. 5'11", 31" inseam. The problem for me is the stepped seat, which didn't allow me to slide back to where I want. They designed the X-pect for shorter riders and slower speeds. I never felt comfortable on it over 50 mph.
The KPX has a flat seat, so no problem there. A bit narrow and hard for me, so I took Jerryhawk's advice and got me a Maddog seat pad (Amazon). The KPX is more powerful, stable and versatile.
For cost and non-highway street use, I'd take a long look at the SS3. If you think you will be on dirt roads, easy trails or fire roads sometimes, then the X-pect, if you think the ergonomics won't be a problem. You could also re-do the X-pect seat to make it flat.
