Why would you 'downgrade' to a full frame Pentax?

I don't see the two as mutually exclusive!

I think it depends on what your lens line up looks like - if mostly DA lenses then probably not worth pursuing FF. All but one of my lenses are FF so I would be keen to get my hands on a Pentax FF body if the price is similar to the 5DII/D700. I am in agreement with Kris though - I feel no need to upgrade my K20 to a K5 (although the K5 does have better high ISO performance this is not something I need).

They tested a portrait lens without actually taking a portrait????

IIRC you can still buy a new SMC-A 50/1.2 to special order? At least I'm pretty sure someone found that it was still in the Pentax price lists recently.

Yes you can get them new in Japan....

My 43mm needed AF adjustment on the k20d (it was obviously OOF when used wide open) - all other lenses are fine.

There is none of the annoying double flash that you get with P-TTL.

The pre-flash is very very annoying when doing portraits. I avoid whenever possible.

Worth noting that that Metz and Sigma do Pentax compatible flashes:

yes -pentax af360fgz and af540fgz. i think there is also a smaller af200fg which may be worth a look. All of these do p-ttl.
