Give me an example of a sentencing disparity that was struck down that did not involve either a suspect class or a fundamental right.

One does not yet exist, that I know of. I think my post above suggested as much.

That is reductio ad absurdum. Any given statute may be struck down if it fails rational basis review as well. If Kansas is able to establish a rational objective which requires the sentencing disparity, then the Kansas statute will get upheld.
