I agree that the DOF advantage has been way over-played. There are more compelling reasons for FF, such as the aforementioned ISO advantage, or the resolution advantage (which is genuine, though it still tends to be over-stated).
For me, the biggest and most compelling reason to get an FF would be the glass. If I had a lot of K-mount FF glass and they were my favorite lenses, I'd get the K-1. If Pentax was offering FF lenses that fit my shooting style, I'd get a K-1. But neither of these stipulations happen to apply. My favorite lenses are mostly APS-C lenses, and the Pentax FF line-up, although it's great for what it is, just doesn't fit my shooting style. I like high quality slow glass -- lenses with great color and contrast and flare-control, like the DA Limiteds. I also need a wide angle zoom with filter rings and a high quality slow aperture standard zoom that starts at FF equivalent 24mm. Pentax's APS-C line-up features these lenses, while their FF line-up does not. So as great as the K-1 undoubtedly is, I just can't get excited about a camera absent the right lenses.
