the most difficult decision of my life - 5MEG & compact

We bought the S5i because the consensus seemed to be that it offered better picture quality. I can confirm that is is indeed very good, capable of making satisfactory A3 prints.
If I was looking for an even longer zoom, I wouldn't be expecting to find it in this type of camera. Something somewhat bigger, I think.

i would like a 5 meg camera which has the equivilent of 300mm zoom, loads of manual settings and is lighter than a feather and smaller than a box of matches.
the 3 that i have found so far are:-
Pentax Optio S5i
Pentax Optio SV
Casio Exilim EX-Z55
extra question - could i get lens attachments with any of these to improve the zoom
which would you chose and why? - or is there one out there i have missed!
please help
