Unfortunately all of my lenses and accessories are for Pentax,to start over again would be a major expense. Which I am not at all blowing off doing due to my disappointment of the KX. I would be extremely hesitant about buying another Pentax.
I think if you were to try a K7 or K5 (particularly a K5) you wouldn't feel that way. what i really disliked about the kx was lack of features (ie selectable focus points) and the less user friendly controls compared to the K10 (also the body never felt right in my hands)
The K7 addressed all my issues except high iso performance. the K5 ha addressed that (but I haven't bought one yet)
If you get a chance you should try one of the enthusiast bodies.
One good thing is the kx has held value pretty well because it has some hardcore fans (and there is no AA body any longer which is a must for some people apparently)
