The K-5 II is a great camera, but of course you'll see a bigger bump in image quality with the newer models (K-3, K-70) because the K-5 II has the same sensor as the K-30 (albeit with 14-bit raw). However, the difference in terms of build quality and ergonomics as well as durability would probably be worth it
Another option would be to upgrade the 18-55mm to a better zoom, such as the 16-85mm or Sigma 17-70 or 17-50.
