Here is an honest opinion:
1. Sony A77 is a fantastic camera. Very fast and a great camera.
2. The fact that it hides 1 STOP of light through the translucent mirror (SLT) I would not buy it. Regardless how amazing it is.
3. EVF is very slow in dark. (Remember a person looks through a optical view finder and a digital view finder is too bright to look at for longer durations.)
4. You would be changing systems from Pentax to Sony, you mentioned budget is a constraint. Specially lenses.
I would recommend a refurbished / used (If you can find) new Pentax K-3 (Body only). It will be an upgrade you will not regret.
Your choice and money in the end. Good luck.

Pentax is expensive but Sigma is coming up with great pro choices for budget lenses.

Just remember one thing the 1 Stop light is used to reflect through the Translucent mirror into the Electronic viewfinder. It always stays on. It internally cranks up the exposure to compensate for that.
