All the f/1.4's I've had haven't been as sharp as the f/1.7's.

I compared the Pentax_A 50mm f/1.4 with the Pentax_A 50mm f/2.8
Macro last week and the Macro was sharper at all apertures.
It was even much sharper wide open at f/2.8 than the f/1.4 (at 2.8 ).
In fact apart from DOF I can't see any need to stop it down,
unless it purple fringes in high contrast situations.

I'll have to check the Macro against the Pentax_A 50mm f/1.7
later this week.

The Pentax_A 50mm f/1.4 I've got was a lot sharper than an FA
I used to have, it was almost as good as the f/1.7.

A piece of tracing paper or tissue over the tele adaptor makes
a very good diffuser.

I'd say yes...
AF is improved... Better IQ... Increase in resolution... Dual control wheels... RAW/FX (customizable) button... And Weather Resistant (I know you said 'apart from' but it is a biggie imo)

The front and rear caps are often worth more than the lens...
in fact I might stop buying lenses and just buy front and
rear caps!

Impressive considering a TC is used

I wouldn't rush selling your 150-500's they have a massive
advantage of longer reach plus they are a zoom which is
very handy for ducks etc. that come up closer.
