The K6S is all steel and weighs 23oz. vs. 22.1oz. for the all steel S&W 640 Pro. Comparing the K6S to a scandium frame S&W 340 is silly.
Retail price 640 Pro $839
Retail Price K6S $899
Used prices should equalize in a few months as demand wanes.
Size of the K6S and a 640 Pro are literally identical. What differs is the shape of the trigger guard which will determine if it will fit in your current j-frame holster. The Ruger is a much larger gun.

Kimber does offer the K6S in a high polished finish which would make it a potential scratch magnet. I personally wish they offered one in black.

K6S is probably not for everybody. Just those who seek something different from the usual offerings.
I have owned the Kimber K6s for about 5 months, high quality gun. I like my J frames, but I also like the sixth round. If you are still interested in the blackened stainless on the Kimber, check out GunBroker. Kimber makes some all black, and some that are black with the contrasting stainless cylinder.
