I am undecided, I live in Miami and wonder if Moby will be too warm...seems to have a lot of fabric and Baby K'Tan seems easier to use...

I would say no to both the moby and the k'tan. They will both be too hot. Go with a lighter weight wrap, like the wrapsody, and you will be so much happier!
My husband and I both love our Baby Ktan carriers. We used them in very hot temperatures with no problems at all. The material is a nice lightweight t shirt knit.
Between those two, I would get the Moby. I hated the Katan--couldn't get the fit right, and it felt like much mroe fabric all bunched up than the Moby. I agree with hobie that you might want to look for a wrap in a lighter weight fabric.

I would also suggest a wrapsody.
I loved my Baby K'Tan, but never tried the Moby or the wrapsody, so I can't speak to them...

Love my K'tan. much easier to use than the moby and a lot less material. they also have a new mesh one that is supposed to be cooler and more breathable.
I personally don't think the K'tan provided as much support when babies get older and heavier. The Moby or even Sleepy wrap is a lot of frabric but even a carrier like an Ergo or a Beco would be just as hot.
I would not get the moby if I lived in Florida. I live in the desert southwest and the moby was way too hot. I hardly ever usedmit. I tried a ktan on and loved it, but DS was already kinda big for it. Mi think amktan would be good for a newborn, then move up to something with more structure.

We used our Moby carriers in a hot climate and it never bothered our children, they like being carried more than to sit in a stroller, even when it's hot!
We got this one for our youngest daughter (in Fuchsia) http://www.babyearth.com/moby-wrap-uv-baby-carrier.html
Just make sure you don't overdress your child (one layer like a onsie or t-shirt is enough) and let them wear a cute sunhat.
