Another K10D vs. K100D super, advise please

OK, after months of research I think I have it narrowed down to two cameras; the K10D and the K100D Super.
Two things are steering me away from the K10D:

1. I have read two reviews on other websites where they talk about phantom pixels on the K10D. On one website they even show a couple of examples of those phantom pixels on real photos. Is this a common thing? The reports do say that they only appear on pictures with lots of vertical and horizontal lines, as in photos of buildings. I really am into photographing buildings, so I would hate to have these pixels appear on lots of my pictures, and they are very evident on larger prints. These reports where from early K10Ds. Does anyone know if Pentax has done anything to fix this?

2. The other thing that keeps me from buying the K10D is the "miss-alignment" of the view finder/sensor/body. Is this very noticeable?
Is it a real problem? Are most cameras affected by this regardless of brand?

I can only think of one thing that keeps me away from the K100D Super, and it's the lack of a full RGB histogram. How important is this? I used an SLR film camera years ago, until it got stolen and never replaced it. Of course it didn't have a histogram, and until I started researching DSLRs I didn't even know what they where. Some people on some websites make it sound like they are the greatest thing. All the reviews about the K100D super speak wonders of this little camera though.

I did go to a store and played with both cameras and loved the way both of them felt in my hands. I was leaning towards a Nikon D40, I thought that was my final decision, until I had the D40 and both Pentax cameras in my hands.

Thanks all very much in advance for your help
