This is pretty much where I'm at.
I chose #7 though I tend to view the purchase of a K1 as more of an addition to my photographic arsenal than an upgrade from the K3, which I'm anticipating will likely continue to be my goto body.
My K-3 works for most common situations for me (mainly long tele or macro shooting). I've added an A7S with a couple of FE lenses for low light work and situations where the EVF and/or totally silent operation are advantages, but I've had 12 years of LBA where I've added quite a few K mount lenses that work adequately with a 36x24 format body, and though they do work with the A7S with an adapter, I generally prefer an OVF, AF, and the Pentax user interface that I'm so used to. The K1 will give me more FOV versatility with lenses I already have, higher ISO capability, and I have some ideas about how shooting in the crop mode might give me some advantages, especially if the AF is as improved as some have claimed (but I've heard this all before, so I'm not holding my breath, but I am hopeful. ..).
I'll wait for the first adopters to weigh in before I buy one, but I doubt that I'll wait for any significant price drop before picking one up.
