With Pentax JPEG I feel have much more options, e.g. I can easily add some blurring in Photoshop and turn the jean shirt into velour, but the opposite is hard.

well, i the truth is in between. let's remember that we are looking at a 100% crop out of 12-14 megapixels. resized to fit a computer screen it makes no difference, maybe the nikon shot looks more neutral, and the pentax shot more colorfull and slightly sharper/noisier.
secondly, those are 100% shots at iso3200. if you would try to remove the noise in the pentax shot in order to print larger-that-average you yould most likely end up with a velour as well.
i shoot raw as well, so the nikon shot would give me less headache. but this is just me.
cheers.
