I haven't removed it from my K7 and now K5 since I purchased it. Slightly larger viewfinder size with no real draw backs for me. I can see the entire frame, including the info below the screen, and have the added benefit of some extra nose clearance from the LCD screen. The diopter control remains on the camera itself so that doesn't change on you when you put this on.
According to DPreview of the K5, when they adjust the viewfinder magnification number to a full frame equivalent, it comes to a 0.61x viewfinder. If I look up the Spotmatic F stat, it appears to be a 0.88x. Now the K5 0.61x with the O-ME53 magnifyer of 1.2x, should be roughly equivalent to a 0.73x.
Because if it is, that would put the K7/K5 with O-ME53 right in between the D800 and Canon 1DX mk ii which are 0.7x and 0.76x respectfully.
I took a comparison photo of the viewfinders for those of you who want to see the difference before you buy:
