'in other words any photo the k-r can take the k-x can'
Ah... No. I thought of two. With both cameras as shipped and no extra added bits, the K-R can take time-lapse sequence - The K-X can't. The K-R can do hand held HDR - The K-X needs a tripod. There may be more, but that was just what I thought of.
'and the feature set are the same'
Again... No. The K-R has an auto focus light, takes Li ion batteries as well as optional AA batteries, faster FPS, improved video. There may be more, but that was just what I thought of.
'and it's not plagued by FF issues.'
The K-X has little FF in tungsten light, but it is there if you check carefully with a test target. K-5, K100D too. I suspect they all do to a small amount.
And don't forget that some K-X blur at certain shutter speeds.
