I am guessing I will be about 60-75 percent dirt on my ride, that is my aim anyhow. I dropped the DR650SE for that reason. Having ridden that bike in the dirt, I was underwhelmed. It also feels a good bit heavier than the XRL.

How tall are you? The DR650 is not a great BIG MAN bike. The Honda is much better ... or your KTM. But the DR650 (with proper mods) can be pretty good.
BTW, dry weight of DR650 vs. XR650L are the same: 324 lbs.
But off road in stock form, the XR-L is much better. But once the DR has been modded up some, it's a whole new bike. But not great for tall guys, as it's too low for most.
60 to 75% dirt? Have you ever toured/travelled in Latin America before?
Short answer is: You're dreaming!
