Congratulations on placing your order!
I find it rather curious to think of the K-1 as a "lite" version of the D810.
In spending an extra USD1k for the D810 as compared to the K-1, what I mainly gain is a more sophisticated AF system, useful eg. for high speed sports, and better video; if those are required. (Even so, the 5fps rate limits the AF's usefulness for fast-burst sports work.)
But, what do I stand to lose in the D810?
1. Pixel shift capability for ultimate IQ
2. 5-axis In-body Stabilisation, for ALL lenses mounted
3. AA filter simulator, switchable, to fight moire when needed
4. Astrotracer capability
5. Flexible LCD
6. GPS built-in
7. WiFi built-in
In my view, it is rather the D810 which is a "K-1 lite".
And this is with the D810 priced at 1000 bucks extra!!
