Conach,
It comes down to what you want out of it.
Kickboxing has better punches.
Kyokushin has leg kicks and throws and I believe knees but i'm not sure about that.
I think they are even. No head punches is not good, but no throws and no leg kicks is also bad.
I would base it on if you want to learn how to throw people or not.
Check to see if Kyokushin allows knees to the head in the clinch. I think they might. If thats the case then all its missing is head punches. Sure thats important but not too hard to punch the face instead of the body in a street fight.
If you took kyokushin, boxed with some buddys on the side and learned some basic grappling you would be set.
