I bought the K-1 for the articulating screen... I don't believe the K-P was a choice at the time.
At the time I bought my K-1 I wanted, pixel shift, the GPS and the articulating screen.
The K-P has two of the three, and you can buy the GPS add on if it's important.
Now, I'd like a camera with the accelerator chip and at least the 7fps of the K-P and a 50 shot buffer. The K-3 still works for me, but I've stopped shooting small flower macros with it, because of the terribly inconvenient lack of the flippy back screen. Once you get use to having it, not having it is insufferable.
You cannot shoot small wildflowers without a tilting back screen after a rain, and come home without mud every where on your clothes, not to mention holes in the knees of my pants from lying and kneeling on rock and sand.
It sounds minor, really, it's not.
The great thing about the K-P is, it does most of what the K-1 does, and most of what the K-3 does, a great single camera option.
I chose to go with two bodies. You can never have too many options.
