If/when I get K1/FF I would continue to use it on that in crop mode as it is very small/light for what it does

Certain DA* lenses are full frame capable. The 55 is one of them. The 50-135 is not. So you need to check if you go for a DA* lens and plan to use in FF mode.
The FA 35mm f2.0 is good value and has a lot what the FA 31 does, but the FA 31mm wins because of its rendering of OOF in particularly. The FA 31 and FA 77 are exceptional lenses.
The DA* 55 is definitely worth a look, it has good weather sealing and pixie dust.
Theres loads of options at around 50mm ...
FA 43
DA 50 f1.8
FA 50 f1.4
DFA 50mm macro f2.8
DA* 55 f1.4
Don't discount legacy glass as well on the K-1
Nothing wrong with the budget 50mm f1.8 and 35mm f2.4, if cost is a concern.
