Christopher,
Let me be the dissenting voice of reason here. Buyer's remorse is a bad guiding principle as it will rob you of your money with little or nothing in return! As amazing as the K-5 really is, one has to keep in mind that you already have a pretty amazing camera in your hands. The danger is that people expect their images to suddenly improve when switching to a different camera.
In comparison to your Canon, the K-5 will enlarge the envelope of opportunity somewhat but it will not noticeably change the quality of the shots you are getting now!
Please remember that there's always a better camera out there, once you buy the K-5 someone else will top that etc. etc. The best advice I can give you, although I love my K-5 (and my K20D before it) is: stick with what you have, a pretty amazing piece of technology that is capable of delivering top-notch results under many circumstances. Enjoy your Canon because it is an absolutely amazing DSLR, amongst the best the market can offer in that pricerange today.
Switching now would be burning money and would turn out to be a disappointment as you are expecting too much of a difference. The truth is that all of these manufacturers whether Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax etc. make fine cameras that are tantalizingly close in terms of what they deliver. Differences are tiny and usually center around handling and/or form factor and/or better performance in some niche of the envelope.
That's my €0.02
