I know you guys are talking to somebody, but it isn't me. The lightness of the K-5 is a selling feature... and if a D800 is heavier, even 6 ounces, it doesn't win in that category. Live with it.
I think the K-5 is too small to be comftable without a grip (unless one has girly hands). Where as the D800 doesnt need a grip to make it comftable so for me(and many others) it will be lighter.
Add to that 24mm,50mm,85mm primes is a lighter again combo than my APSC counter-parts (15mm,30mm,55mm).
Who said FF is all heavy?
For me I will be actually shaving weight and whilst gaining all the FF advantages
