That is 512 Bytes, not Kbytes.   And probably they won't burn things
into the chip for quanity 1, or probably even quanity 100, they will
want a big quanity before they go to the trouble of burning it in for
your (without charging a large amount to do it per chip).

It does look somewhat useful for some tasks.   The basicx-1 does not
appear to have any A/D convertors, you need the -24 to get that.
