I owned a m20e mooney for almost 10years and 1500 hours it was a great plane to
get from point?A to point B in comfort.
The mooney is heavy on the controls? compared to the kr and things don't happen
as fast as the kr.
The kr2 is more like the Grumman with the 0320 conversion the speed, handling
and landing are very similar and both great to fly.
However I wouldn't trade my kr for either of the planes, every flight is a
treat and if everyone enjoyed it as much as i do the sky
would be full of krs

What differences do you want to contrast? Performance wise, I can out
climb and out run a M20C in my O-200 powered KR. However, it's not a
huge difference.
If you are asking about load capacity, the Mooney will haul a load (like
a second person). The KR won't.
If it's the fun factor, the KR is a whole lot more fun to fly. I ticked
over 718 hours on my KR yesterday. I still fall in love with this plane
and how much fun it is to fly every time I light it up.
When you go to a fly in, the KR will be the one with a crowd of people
admiring it, but the Mooney will get you there in comfort.
