Almost didn't buy the K-1 and join ff because it might cause a drop in creativity. But the Pentax crop offering was missing many features I wanted. Some, like gps, could be added, but then a new KP ended up costing as much as a slightly used K-1.

I don't think there is necessarily a correlation between format size and creativity, but what I have experienced - in and out of photography - is that there can be a (hopefully temporary) dip in creativity when learning a wonderfully advanced new tool. Sometimes the new tools are so fascinating simply exploring and learning them is an end unto itself. And sometimes, there is so much low-hanging fruit to harvest with your new gear that it takes a while to look up to the higher-aspiration stuff.
In short, be patient with yourself, and enjoy the exploration!
Edit: I just realized that I'm basically restating what @photoptimist already said.
