But, I don't NEED them! Is that a good enough excuse to NOT buy them? Seems like a killer deal to me!

You would have 5 lenses to get rid of...

On the other hand, I've never heard of a 75-200 AF for Pentax. Probably made by Cosina.

Google turns up this...

That series 1 is a very nice , quite highly regarded lens all by itself. I would happily give $100 for it shipped alone.
But....I DONT NEED IT ! I keep telling myself that anyway.....my finger is getting itchy.....lol.

It depends. There were many different versions of the Series 1 70-210. The first few were well regarded. The later ones not so much. I'm pretty sure this is a later Cosina model.
