It's about choices when it's needed. Why do people complain about K-3 not having ISO 80, and DA 35 not opening to f 2 like it should be based on the original design? Those are just half stops as well. Would those not matter in practice as well? In practice if you dont use strobes with people very much, it really doesnt matter, but if you do that alot, it does.
If someone at Canonikon sneers at you, sneer back at them because they have nothing like the DA and (arguably) FA lims. 95% of their high performing lenses looks like they're compensating for something.
Thom complaining about the sync speed is just being sour grapes imo. I respect him as well but he likes his Nikons so he has his bias. Nikon has no "perfect camera" either. I dont see a problem of running two systems to get the best of each worlds. I wonder why Thom can't just do the same.

Nah, Nikon butched it up by giving it crappy fps, which the Pentax D400 delivers in spades. Nikon likes to play this game they eliminate one or two critical functions out of a lower tier camera body so that you buy the higher one. Sometimes these issues could be addressed by firmware, but they have a history not to do this kind of updates.
If your ideal camera is the D800, you're in luck, otherwise your camera is probably not going to be perfect.
I feel that Pentax OTOH always give their customers their very best effort in every camera body for a given price point.
At the moment D700 (low MP high FPS FF) and D300s (high FPS pro built DX) have no true successor. The K-3 is through and through a D300s successor, other than the pentax logo and K mount.
