To put it in a different way - I know they are not going to be any worse, but is the resolution noticably better on k-3? Like if I take the same image with k-5 iis and k-3 and up-size the 16 mpix image to 24 - will I be able to really tell the difference?
I've seen some really impressive sapmples from the longer lenses and with the teleconverter where the ability to crop more is also very handy but I rarely use telephotos and I'm trying to figure if it is worth upgrading to K-3 some time in the future considering these are the lenses I have.
Anyway, seems everybody is happy with their limiteds on the K-3 so I take it as good sign

Well, if a lens outresolve a sensor across the frame, you won't be able to see any difference in sharpness between the center and edges of the image.
Of the 3 lenses in question (my copies of course) on K-5 IIs I can only say this for the 35 ltd. I guess if measured there is difference, but to my eyes it is as good as it gets.
That's why I was so surprised with the results on the a5100. Maybe it's just that it has an AA filter...
