Why buy a 50mm/1.4 lens that can get a sharp image at f/2 when you can already shoot same tack sharp image with the 1855 kitlens at f/8?
Why buy a DA 50-135 when the DA 50-200 covers more range, and is good enough to take photos of my kids at f/8?
FF is exactly the same thing It's about having options. If you dont need the options that FF provides, great! Save your money and mental stress and be happy with the one you have.
And the IQ of practically all FF bodies are excellent, the DR and the way the image responds to Lightroom highlight / shadow recovery (and all the other sliders really) is unbelievable. High ISO of all currently produced bodies beats any APS-C sensors. K-5 was lauded as a great camera when it was released since the IQ is roughly equal to Canon 5Dii in lab measurements. In fact that's actually a compliment for Canon 5dii, as it is a much older tech
