Having a k7 and k20 generates the same result. I haven't touched the k20 in close to a year. I'll be shooting with two cameras on a job coming up, so I'll probably have to get out the manual to figure out where all the buttons are. The k7 is quite different.
You're right about the low light capability of the Kx. However, if I was shooting kids in low light for a living, I'd probably go with the full frame Nikon. You'd want the benefits of a big buffer and high frame rate for that. But if it was just a once in a while thing, the Kx would be more than adequate.
