Well you're looking at two completely different systems. The slav/semi slav (my prefered defense) leads to a closed positional game which is much slower paced. The KID however, is tactically involved and what i like to call a sharp defense. The KID was loved by the great David Bronstein, who managed to draw bobby fischer with this defense. So it has it's merit, however i would reccomend the slav to lower level players as the KID can leads to lines where white plays qxd8 and black cannot castle. Therefore, requires a great amount of positional theory and tactical.

Semi-slav is extremely tactical, and not exactly slow paced (unless you avoid all of the main lines, giving white an easy edge, or white decides to play the moscow).
d4 Nf6 c4 g6 Nc3 Bg7 e4 d6 Nf3 0-0 Be2 e5 0-0 (where can black not capture after Qxd8?)
Maybe.
