Unless you feel the need to be on the cutting edge of aircraft design or just feel a need to do something different, go with the tried and true (and probably faster build) KR2S with conventional construction. Which will you enjoy more, building or flying? Personally, I enjoyed the learning experience of building but I enjoy the flying (430 hours now) a great deal more. :-) To my knowledge, no all composite constructed design based on the KR series has yet made it in the air.
