Need more power! K-7 or bust?

I have a job coming-up that has invoked the need for a new camera.
I needs more FPS than my K20's can delivery and video is being called on.

The issue is(of course) that we won't have ISO3200 with a K7 nor will we be looking at full size print like our K20's.

So... I'm been contemplating picking-up with a flash(strobbing w/reflectors) on whatever scenes call for ISO1600 and above instead.

So I'm left with questions like, how fast a recharge rate can I expect.
And is a Pentax flash the best way to go in terms of control and performance?

My idea is to bounce most scenes up to about 15feet and then using a reflector for whatever falls further than that(directional flash style).

Or...

Should would I be simplifying things by grabbing a camera like a D7 and a pair of above average zooms to fill in the void?

This seems to be about flash rather than camera, moving to Accessory forum.

I have a Metz 48 AF-1 and the recharge rate is quite fast, probably 1-1.5 seconds between each shot.
