I think the K3 is a big step up from the K50. It's mostly about pairing the right camera to the intended photographer, their experience, and the degree to which they intend to exert direct control over the image capture.
The 'Flagship' Pentax models, apart from the more often shouted about features such as WR, battery grips, AA filterless, pixel-shift etc, also include extra dedicated controls for rapid access in dynamic situations (eg metering mode, focus mode, AF point select) as well as additional software, memory, custom functions etc (like User modes, choices for retained settings, selections for flash behaviour, AF arrays etc).
I think you get a lot more for the money.... The K1 looks certain to continue and even expand on this distinction, and ultimately will end up being even better value.
But the user has to consider whether they can access and utilise the features, if its something to learn about over time, if they have the patience and commitment ...... or whether in fact having less control and fewer decisions to take is the better way to go.
Grodgeman makes a good point about weight too - certainly something for some people to take into consideration.

Despite the present range of Pentax cameras having excellent view finders, the K1 will have a larger 35mm film camera like viewfinder which should be a joy to use for manual focusing etc!
Hardly film like?
