I think this is a K3 styled version of the KP to satisfy users who need the bigger battery. They have just given the camera the KP's battery grip styling so as to incorporate a larger battery, ditched the retro styling of the KP and maybe addressed a few other KP deficiencies . So it is not a new flagship ASP-C, just an alternative to the KP.
I don't think the K-1 MkII will look any different to the current K-1 but it might have a new sensor given that Ricoh refer to new coming super high Mp sensors in their * series lens blurb.
