Welcome to the K5 club. It is a superb camera, so I am sure you will enjoy it.
I also have a 55-300 and it is a really useful outdoors general purpose lens. It is better than a lot of people give it credit for, so be prepared to be impressed by what you get from it.
With regard to WA - if you are heading the prime way I have had a DA14/2.8 (sold) and have a DA15/4 Limited and DA21/3.2 Limited. The DA 15 is the pick of them - it is a stunning little lens. The DA21 is pancake of course, and even smaller - but the results you will get out of the DA15 will mess with your head, they are so good.
Enjoy your Pentax :-)
