The first time I saw the KP at the Birmingham UK photo show in spring 2017, it had the 20-40 mounted on it. It looked like they were designed to be together. My wife picked it up and (despite being an Olympus M1 user) was very complimentary about it. Last year she bought a KP with the DA70 ltd as a portrait option for a wedding. Then she found a DA21 ltd and DA 20-40 ltd.. majority of her photos are now shot on the KP. (Helps that I have a drawer full of K mount glass..)
I would echo the comments above that for hiking, the 20-40 is better suited for inclement weather. However, the DA21 has an edge for landscape. And the small DA ltd primes on the KP are not much bigger than the M1 with its small primes. Plus the battery last all day on the KP - not something the M1 shines at...
It's also pretty good for birding with the DFA 150-450, but I suspect the D500 has an edge there.
