1 your choice is the correct one, so don't worry about what I or anyone else would do or say
2 the 70-200mm F2.8 covers a lot of ground and has a lot of what you said you were looking for, IMHO, read the user reviews and In Depth Review I linked to for details
3 it gives you a AW ( supposed to be better for dust/moisture protection than WR ) protected lens from short portrait to telephoto
usable for many purposes
4 you would have wide angle - 31 and normalish - 50 lenses on the full frame K 1, you would not have an ultra wide nor long telephoto
5 all lenses usable on an APS-C camera body should you have to put off buying a K 1
