It's not like you're comparing the three speed IGH to an 11 speed or 14 speed IGH. I think the real question for you, though, is what riding position do you prefer? The Oxford appears to be a more upright riding position, while the Kilowatt is a more forward leaning riding position. I'm sure you could always put some straight or upswept bars on the Kilowatt and attain an upright position, though.
