Keeping a small WR lens like the 18-50 in a kit seems like a great move after a budding photog has gained enough skill and interest to pick a second or third lens.

Learning to focus a manual lens on a modern DSLR is probably a good skill to develop. I wouldn't call it fun without a split prism or a camera body that provides assistance like focus peaking.

I'd get the K-S2 to avoid the odd mechanical issues that seem more common with the K-50, as well as the updated sensor and AF that the K-S2 offers. 18-50WR seems okay and is nice and small; not a bad lens to keep in the bag in case foul weather comes up. But not something I'd want to use all the time.
