The point I was making was, if you were thinking of upgrading to a D600 for resolution or MP, there would be no need to do that.
Mistral's (and couple others, including myself) is that the K-3 is no competitor for D600 but very peculiar situations.
Of course, if Mpix is what you want, they may be, but then there're a LOT others including smartphones
The thing is, the D600, whether we like it or not is a low end FF meaning it has a vaguely OKish body, slower shutter speeds etc but sports a very (very) nice FF sensor.
The K-3 (at least on a marketing PoV) will be the opposite, an excellent ergonomy, excellent high end body with a (probably very well performing) APS-C sensor. It may or may not include very good AF and very good Flash system as well and a couple more nice things.
The positioning is completely different. And yes, practically you can compare a K-5 with a 5Dmk3 if so you want but on a price/positioning PoV you can't. You can't argue and moan because the Canon is better. Really, at 3 times the price? What a surprise
