mdshooting,
You've outlined a recurring quandary - you'd like to use a FF camera system, but there is none in the Ricoh/Pentax lineup or on the Ricoh 'roadmap'. Your main requirement clearly seems to be full-frame, and there are options in the marketplace that would meet that requirement. My suggestion would be to look into another brand and acquire what you want.
In my family, we are sort of facing a similar question concerning a replacement for our aging family automobile - we want certain features/specs, but our 'preferred' brand doesn't meet all of them. Do we wait for another year or two or three, hoping that they introduce a model that would meet all of our requirements, or should we purchase another brand now? Decision, decisions!
Good luck with whatever direction you take!
