What I noticed about the KLX I rode, was that it felt more top heavy than my KDX while riding. After getting use to it...I no longer noticed until I got back on the KDX. The YZ250 feels like this to me too. The ergos make it more like sitting on top than being down in the bike. Just my experience.
There are two things about 4 strokes that bother me way more than the weight (I could lose about 15 lbs before I start worrying about bike weight. ha ha): Keep in mind that these bother ME! There is no statistical evidence to support my opinions.

1st is the sound...I find it hard to watch MX without the ring a ding ding. Same thing on the trail. Something about the 2 stroke sound that gets my blood pumping. The 4 strokes sound just reminds me of the 4 wheelers that have a tendency to ruin the ST

2nd is the power delivery. Don't get me wrong. The 4T have boatloads of power. It's just different than the 2T. I'll ride a 2T until they come house to house and take them

For long dual sport rides, I think I would prefer the power delivery of a 4T. Plus, they are much easier to mooch fuel from your buddies or fuel at a station without having to worry about mixtures and oil choices.

It would be nice to have a thumper in the stable. Dang it, now how am I going to find the funds for a 4th bike? The KLX would make a great loaner/second bike. The ergos are very similar to the KDX and they are very rider friendly.
Good luck in your search Vince.
