Having spent a great deal of time with the 645D before switching fairly recently to the Z, I concluded that aside from the obvious high ISO benefits of the CMOS sensor, for my typical low ISO landscape images and long exposure work (under 2 minutes), the 645D is as competent a player as the Z and produces punchier colors. The 40MP images and 33x44 sensor still beat the D810 in IQ all day long. It is a great time to buy a new or used 645D, IMO.

In both cases I feel the glass is the severe limiting factor in making a good comparison and quite probably the K1 is more crippled in this regard relative to what the D810 comparometer shows.....

thx and i certainly agree with you there. If Zeiss would just make the same lens for every mount, we could compare every platform and also have some high end glass for the Pentax shooters.
