I consider the K1ii a facelift, though that takes nothing away from its capabilities.
The K3ii made more substantial hardware changes, I think.
As for lens resolution, I think there are very few lenses that would show no difference between a 36Mp and a 72Mp sensor, though I’ll admit that’s pretty low on my priority list.

The rigor Consumer Reports has used historically completely the obliterates the apparent test processes at DPR. Can you imagine them testing autofocus with a bicycle? Only if it was on a motorized platform with precise control...
Though I do tend to ignore them for anything I'm really into... because, like you, my priorities are different from theirs generally...
But if I were to want to buy something I was not an enthusiast about, I could at least trust Consumer Reports wasn't terribly biased...
If they reviewed the K1 with the new 50mm, I would still have issues with their review (priorities, again), but it would likely not be about their bias.
Something I've noticed about enthusiasts in general is they (and no blame placed here) don't tend to care about bias when it's their stuff being discussed among themselves...
Doesn't matter if it's BMW motorcycles, Honda cars, or anything else (though are there forums of enthusiasts of dishwashers?)
I mean, I don't come to this forum for unbiased talk about the relevant merits of a random bunch of cameras...
But that means that for a bunch of enthusiasts at DPR, getting around that is hard... especially for enthusiasts of different brands...
So I guess I just placed myself in the 'DPR is sloppy' camp over the 'DPR are a bunch of malicious liars'... :)

Depending on when you bought it... for a while it seemed like the K-01 came with the 40XS as kit 🙂

More important than the image quality... did it come with the stickers?
They'll sell twice as many if it comes with those AOG stickers :)
