They're both slow as molasses, but the KDX screen size is way better at displaying pages.

I already had a K1 but I bought the KDX for PDFs and illustrated books. I absolutely love it. Furthermore, I now use the KDX as my primary reader and it doesn't matter what kind of book I'm reading. I would much rather read a book of fiction on the KDX than on a K2's smaller screen. Less page turning is a bigger benefit than most people realize.

I don't find the KDX too heavy (I'm a 6' tall 200 lb. man), but the company that makes the Kindle DX screens just announced that this spring they will begin selling a KDX sized screen made of plastic instead of glass. So, I would imagine that by summer Amazon will be selling a KDX 2 that is about the same weight as the K2.
