The K9/10 engines have a pretty aggressive timing on the crankshaft somewhat similar to what an on-road engine would use, the B10 is not as aggressive but like you said it also gets better fuel mileage. If you really do like the K9 a lot I would say get yourself a new K10 and stick with what you like.
that's the best way to describe the classico 9, a violent powerband even with a 6.5 restrictor! I really liked how it felt a lot stronger than my k9 on bottom and top, but not as smooth. most of the time was 1/4 throttle to clear even big jumps. on a loose track it would be a handful for sure.
Good info Chris, I was confused with all the new models. now to decide b/w the two or both.
