I think that another downside to kelon, beside the sound, is the feel. The mallet reacts a lot differently when its striking kelon instead of wood and it can occasionally be difficult to switch from one to the other. Playing on kelon is almost easier because the mallet jumps of the key, but on rosewood the mallet doesn't bounce of the key as fast, you have to work more. This is especially true among xylophones.
What about Padauk as an alternate? My friend just bought a Yamaha 4.3 Padauk, but I havent had a chance to play on it. Anybody know about the sound, feel, durability or price compared to rosewood and kelon?
