Considering a switch to the Dutch

I am rated about 1700 USCF now and I have played the King's Indian for years.  However, I am considering a switch to the Dutch.  I find that many d4 players at my level have a decent understanding of how to play against the KID at least at first.  I DO get the positions I like but it feels like the time to change.

I am not sure if I want to go with the Leningrad Dutch or another variation.  The few variations I have seen on the Leningrad look a little loose a little early in the game for Black.  But I may be looking at the wrong variations.

Who else plays the Dutch at my level and what do you face a lot OTB?   

I am open to the Leningrad (because it is most KID like) or any other variation.  Obviously, like any good KID player, I would love to get positions where I have a shot at a kingside assault. 

Thanks all.
