Yep, you are right, the body work on the kj has more curves and lines, this is more costly to make, the kk is totally straight to safe costs.
For example, the hood on a KJ is curvey and complicated, the hood on the KK is straight and simple.
I personally prefer curves on my car, straight lines is something no good looking car has ever had, you never hear anybody say "hey look at the straight lines of my Corvette/Porsche 911/E-type"
If I see the KK and the KJ together I have trouble not to think the KK is the fat younger sister with specs, I just thing a Jeep should have round headlights and a spare on the back but that's just my personal opinion and you don’t have to agree with that.
There are a lot more complex lines to the KK than the KJ. the KJ is just a round vehicle, where the KK's got all kinds of neat creases and stuff in the bodywork. As far as costliness for production, about the only thing that's more costly to make on the body of the KK is the fact that the tooling hasn't paid for itself yet. it's all stamped, it's not like they have a sweatshop with a bunch of kids pounding out body panels with hammers.
I love my KJ, but if it got totalled in an accident and a KK was in my price range (and I didn't have an '02 Trooper, an 02-04 V8 WJ, or anything else cool staring at me saying BUYMEBUYME) I'd get one without a second thought.
