A daily deal expiring midnight tonight European time; says the seller is the official Pentax / Ricoh Amazon store, which I have no experience with. Options with an SD card or case, as well.

Does Pentax Forums have affiliate links for amazon.fr?

The Ultra class cards you link may be considerably slower to write than the ones you've been using.
Using a K10D and later K5, I went from 4GB Extreme III class 6 cards (purchased late 2008) to a 16GB card that looks similar to the ones you link. Mine is labeled class 6, not class 10, but the label otherwise looks identical -- Ultra, SDHC I, and definitely the same 30MB/s rating printed on it. I bought it maybe early 2012.
I was surprised how much more waiting I had to do for the newer card. I'm not much of a high-speed shooter -- very rarely use continuous shutter, never fill the buffer -- but I'll often take several single shots in sequence, usually to bracket focus. There's noticeably more of a delay with the newer card between taking a few shots and being able to e.g. enter playback. A quick test on my K5: 3 RAW+jpeg shots in continuous (Hi) with the lens cap on, shutter press to playback on (i.e. including shooting time) takes about 4 seconds with the old card and 7 with the new. Subjectively, it adds up to a fair amount of waiting on the card when I least want to, enough that I've since decided it's worth paying something of a premium for faster cards.
FWIW B&H lists read and write ratings for their various SanDisk cards. For the class 10 Ultras you link they report _MIN_ write speed of 10MB/s. For the Extreme cards kkoether mentions, it's _MAX_ 45MB/s and up.
Anybody know of anything more comprehensive, or more directly comparable?
Meanwhile, I can confirm that my 16GB SDHC card works fine in my K10D aside from the subjective speed issue, and that a 64 GB Sony class 10 SDXC (slower again than either of the above in the K5, by the way) isn't recognized at all.

Glazer's Camera is an excellent store, and may be worth a visit. It's very near the Space Needle, so it could be more convenient than some of the out-of-town alternatives. However, I note on their website that the Pentax gear they currently list is almost exclusively medium format and out of stock. Perhaps they can arrange to receive other items if you contact them in advance?
Enjoy your trip.

I'm interested if no one above takes it.
