Buy the K-r.
At least after buying the K-r, you would have no reason for thinking about the K-x.
But then you will find yourself thinking about the "what if I got the K-7?" and then get a K-7, then you will find yourself thinking "what if I only got the K-5"
.............just get the K-5, it will save you a lot of grief from that kind of reasoning.
Truth be told......you will get what makes you happy and only you know what that model will be. You are going to get many different opinions in here, just do what you are comfortable with, I am sure you won't regret it.
