Well I actually do prefer both the K5 and K3 models to the KS2 and K70 models. I just like the look a little better and it seems the controls on the back are a little better. They also seem a little more sturdy looking. But the K3 are at top of budget just with a body. The K5s are fine with a body and one of the "not so expensive lenses" which I know are slow. The problem is FINDING a K 5 IIs. There are plenty shipped from Japan on ebay. And a few on Amazon which ironically I feel are little more shady than the ebay ones since you can't even see them, or get much more info other than "Used - Very Good" as a description.
So at the moment it seems KS2/K70 are the best bet unless I WAIT for K3 to drop in price more. Or go Ricoh GRII/mirrorless route.
