The Kel Tecs seem to be one of those love them or hate them things. I looked at one seriously a few months ago, but after just seeing one and picking it up my thoughts were your thoughts. I bought a J frame for the purpose and never looked back.
It probably is easier to shoot than a snubnose revolver, but I've read on numerous occassions that particular Kel Tecs seem to jam. They just seem like squirt guns with lockwork to me.
I do have an uncle whose "always" is a Keltec P3AT I believe who got another one of my uncles to buy a Keltec. The other uncle has denounced it as a POS and has since purchased a NAA Guardian in .380, which he is very happy with. I did get to see the two mouseguns beside each other recently and I think I like the NAA piece much more.
For a $200 backup, heck I'd take that Rossi .38 over that Keltec any day. If it just absolutely had to be a semiautomatic I'm sure there's something else... Bersa Thunder maybe?
