I just might upgrade my V-5xe to the VX-5 while I'm at it....I could easily live with the KX-5/VX-5 combo in the meanwhile.

KX-5/VX-5 is ridiculously good. I have heard both combos (KX-R/MX-R and KX-5/VX-5) and I think there may be a group of people who would prefer the latter. I think they've outdone themselves again with this latest generation. It's hard for me to quantify the difference (been a while since i had a good listen to a KX-R) but if you get the chance, don't rule out the KX-5 though it's less than half the price. There's a reason they are considering updating the R series with the diamond output stage!
