"Then there's the elements we wish hadn't been transferred, including the tendency to overexpose and frustrating slowness at processing HDR shots, removing chromatic aberration and correcting lens distortion."
Yet
"Pentax is particularly proud of its new SAFOX X autofocus system in the Pentax K-5 II, and with good reason. The system manages to focus almost instantly, even in the darkest of environments, and in many instances it does so without the aid of the AF assist lamp."

To be honest Andrew - YES!
Why? Well the following:-
AF
F2.8
Sharp wide open
Weather sealing, and then some!
Rendition
contrast
Did mention sharp?
Ultimately, I cannot see the 75-150 beating the mighty DA* in most areas, the DA* is such a beautiful beast, and faster to focus than the 75-150. Having said that it will be interesting to see how close the 75-150 can get, if you are happy to slow down. But then again, with the DA* not much can match it, from any brand, it is that good.
On the other hand it is big, and sometimes, you don't want to carry such a brute around. Hence the 75-150.
