Both make outstanding images! To me, the deciding factor that I consider when trying to decide whether to take a full frame vs an APS-C camera boils down to depth of field and bokeh. Assuming similar lens quality and speed, the full frame will have less DOF. So, if you're a bokeh nut like I am, you're better off with a full frame.
The K-1 is not overly heavy. From a weight/balance perspective, the size/weight of the lens you put onto the K-1 is more of a factor when it comes to handheld comfort than is the actual weight of the K-1 camera. Put a Pentax LTD lens on a K-1 and it's easy to handhold. I recently purchased an extremely large/heavy Leica Telyt-R 350mm f/4.8 lens. I adapted it and tried it out on my K-1 camera. This lens make the camera uncomfortably heavy and non-handholdable.
