Most of us seem to shoot crop and FF side by side instead of a full switch.
Better? Likely not. I’ve never believed just a change of gear makes a better photographer. But I can point to 3 lenses in my arsenal that never pleases me on a crop body and have become 3 of my all time favorite on my K-1. That’s the K24 3.5, K28 3.5 and FA31. There is no equivalent optically in a crop body for any of them. Sure I can get the field of view, somewhat, but not the same image.

I'd add that a lot of it depends on your use of a camera. I had a lot of legacy glass before the K-1 and I still shoot film on a regular basis. That made the K-1 an easier choice for me. If I had primarily aps-c glass, it would have been a much harder choice.
For shooting something like weddings, I would stay with an aps-c camera, especially if it's a Pentax. The size and weight of carrying a K-3, grip and the DA* 50-135 is a lot different than the K-1, grip and 70-200. Now consider I carry two cameras, the second having a wide angle such as the DA 17-70. There's a lot of weight difference.

While I really love my K-1, I’m like norm, I would not give up my apsc (K3) camera. My legacy glass spend a lot of time on the K-1, but I use my K3 as much, if not more than it.
