Yes. The difference is noticeable if you compare side by side, but I can't say that it affects me much in day-to-day shooting - and I use MF lenses a *lot*. Someone who will mostly use AF wouldn't be likely to care.
As for the extra controls, they will appeal to a certain class of people - those who often change settings for whatever reason. Me, I never leave AF-S, center weighted metering, center focus point, etc. I shoot in M mode pretty much exclusively, and the only things I change are apertue, shutter speed and ISO. So the only K10D control I miss is the OK+wheel combo for changing ISO as opposed to needing the Fn menu. Luckily, that's the parameter I change the least.
