Is there anything else the NX has that the DX does not that I wish I had? I can't imagine anything else. I don't want to buy less of a tractor but at the same time, why pay for fancy bells and whistles that I'll most likely never use?
After buying a DK sight-unseen and using it for 2+ years, I feel that the DK is a cost-cutting base model, and the NX appears to be a little more robust and refined in various small ways. I was looking at a difference of 5k or 25% when I bought my DK5010, but for 2k or about 7% in your case I think the extra money on the NX would likely be worthwhile just because it seems to be a nicer machine overall, even if you don't need fancy bells and whistles. I had a DK40SE before my current DK5010 and while the DK40SE was quite nice, the DKxx10 series just seems to have a lot of small corners cut.
That said the DK is perfectly adequate, but if I were doing it over again I would probably buy the NX.
