Is the world split between those who have a K-5IIs and love it, and those who don't have a K-5IIs and can't understand how anyone could love it?

Perhaps "Most folks who take pics don't do it under subdued lighting" all the time. I certainly don't. But when I need to, I need a camera that can handle it.
And, of course, I want that to be the same camera that I have just been using before those shots, and that I will be using after those shots, and that all my lenses work with. In other words, my K-5IIs, or the Pentax camera with even better AF that I replace it with.

I shot 10s of 1000s over a long time with my K-5. I've since shot 10s of 1000s over several months with my K-5IIs.
I'm consistently getting better results with my K-5IIs. Fewer low-light AF failures. Better AF-C lock-on. Some of the sharpest images, viewed at 1:1 without any sharpening in Lightroom, that I have ever taken.
Perhaps I have simple rapidly improved my technique around the time I bought the K-5IIs. Perhaps it is just luck. Or perhaps it isn't a gimmick!
I actually don't care a lot. I have that satisfaction and confidence that comes from knowing there isn't a K-mount camera with better AF or better sharpness. "Peace of mind" is often valuable, and I have peace of mind.
