No, I don't think you missed anything. I sold the 24/3.5 some years ago and perhaps my memory is suspect. They're both nice lenses, though the 24/2.8 doesn't seem to get as much love here as the 3.5 does.

I have had the K24/3.5 and I currently have the K24/2.8. I suggest you read the Reviews here, especially the contributions by gofour3. Phil is a K lenses aficionado and his comments are spot-on for film. They carry over well for K-1; on APSc you have the benefit of not capturing the edges.
My experience with the K24/2.8 on K-1 has been about the same as on film cameras - sharp stopped down a bit, some distortion, bright punchy colors and very small and delightful to use (if you like manual focus). The 3.5 is larger and heavier and I think has an earlier coating formula than the 2.8 - it renders a bit cooler.
The 2.8 takes 52mm filters and has a somewhat often available square plastic hood, which I recommend.
The 3.5 takes 58mm filters and a metal 'plate' hood (thumbscrew pinch ring IIRC) that it shares with the 18/3.5 and 20/4. I had it with the 3.5 and stupidly sold them to KEH in a fit of anti-LBA. It took me years to find that hood.
