I agree with you. When top photographers were shooting on the D2X (12mp, APS-C), there was never a question that the quality was not good enough. Even now, who really needs 50MP full frame images. Even if you are printing billboard size, the viewing distance required makes fine detail less relevant. Ultimately, it's still the soul of the image that is the most important.

My point is mainly that the FF advantage has been significantly squeezed over the last ten years, to the point where, in ordinary use, you aren't going to see a major difference between equivalent 24MP APS-C sensors' and 24MP FF sensors' images. The 645 sensor is 1.7X the FF size and FF is 2.3X the APS-C size. The 645 sensor is however 3.8X the APS-C sensor size. That is a significant difference, one I'd def get excited about (especially when I see the gorgeosity coming out of the 645Ds and Zs). It is currently out of my budget though, but I do see masses of old manual 645 lenses on the market for relatively peanuts. We will see what price the FF camera comes in at, but I'd wager you could pay as much for it, with some high quality lenses as you would for a 645 and some used manual lenses.
Something to get even more excited about would be a full size 645 sensor. I don't know if Pentax will do that eventually. I guess one day it will come.

I think it's all a bit anachronistic now. 10 years ago a Pentax FF would have been very exciting. I'm sure it will be a superb camera, but honestly, is it going to produce images noticeably better than the K-3 ii? Noise is so well controlled now. It also seems like the market is going towards mirror less and smaller now with big flippy screens and EVFs. I see that FF will have two major advantages: bigger optical finder and better wide angle options.
Pentax' greatest strength is the 645s IMO. If you want ultimate iQ, that's where to go, not FF.
