I think optically the Pentax and the Tamron are en par.
The Pentax has no focus limiter, which is a concern only if you shoot other things than macro with the lens. The Pentax has Quick-Shift and is the smallest and lightest 100mm lens.
The Tamron to the contrary has the limiter, has 9 aperture blades and is a lot cheaper. On the negative side the Tamron is longer, heavier and the focus ring goes the other way round.
It's up to you what you find more important.

just a thought, would a piece of insulating tape over the 7th contact on the TC solve the problem?

I am always torn between the Tamron and the Pentax.
The Pentax is smaller and lighter and has Quick Shift.
The Tamron has the limiter and is much cheaper.
ATM I am leaning toward the Pentax because I like the Quick Shift very much. The limiter is not so important with the K10 and its fast AF motor.

Since firmware 1.1 you can put ISO in the view finder in Av et al.
