I don't have a KF, nor have I used a K-x, but I'm a long-time K-70 user, so here's a few thoughts
Firmware updates are a consideration, but having said that, there was a K-70 update only a few weeks ago, so there's life in the old girl yet
Having said that, the KF has been given support for the new Custom Images that are lens specific … only worthy of consideration if you have or intend to acquire one or more of the relevant lenses.
I have several 18-55mm "kit" lenses and no complaints about image quality. The "plasticky" build does seem to worry some people, but I try to be careful with my gear so that's not an issue.
However, the "non-basic" DA version does have the Quick Shift Focus feature which is missing on the DA AL version, also (I believe) the DA AL isn't supplied with a lens hood (available as an optional extra!) … I find the little "port" in the hood invaluable for adjusting a polarising filter without all the fiddling about
As for "
obviously cheaper rather than getting it separately later" … check out the prices of s/h 18-55mm lenses, they're virtually given away. Just make sure you get one of the DA versions with a lens hood
The close-focus on both the DA and DA AL lens is surprisingly good at around 1ft/30cm!
Weather resistance (WR) is also a consideration … these are usually a little more expensive and not quite as readily available second-hand.
I use an O-GPS1 with my K-70 very successfully, so no experience with the O-GPS2, however I have found the battery life, using a rechargeable cell, to be in excess of the quoted figure and never a problem. I always go out with a spare battery in my pocket and if I'm having a "long session" I simply replace the battery after about four hours, "just to be sure"
I use some of the built-in Digital Filters rather than the Scene Modes, but do appreciate the in-camera flexibility of the extra features … I'm also a great fan of "older technology" and frequently use Manual Mode, in conjunction with the magic Green Button, with one or more of my older lenses
Enjoy
