Pixel tracking SR is where the camera analyses movement in the pixels and corrects it in software, as opposed to moving the sensor to compensate for camera shake.
Most recent Pentax compacts either have this function, or they have proper sensor-shift SR. The latter is better and certainly faster. The former does slow the camera down quite a bit.

The ME case is slightly taller than the MX case, although they look identical to the casual eye. These copies look pretty authentic and if I just saw a picture of one I'd take it for an original. Not sure if that genuine feel extends to how they are in the hand.

Actually, noticing that 50mm f1.7 again, if you follow Offertonhatter's good advice then you could add the 50-200mm from the SRS eBay shop for just £99 and extend the versatility of your kit for minimal outlay.
And of course minimal increase of weight and bulk.
Of the two camera bodies you have, the later one may well give better results, much as I like the *istDS.

No doubt there are Lonely Planet and Rough Guides to Cuba that will give you plenty of ideas of what to see.
Unless you have some specific style in mind, I would suggest travelling light. General purpose zoom - 17-70mm from your list. Longer lens if required - you don't really have a suitable lens but the 50-200mm can be picked up for £99 from the web (SRS) and the 55-300mm is better but bulkier and more expensive.
A fast 35mm would be nice to add, for hand held night shooting. The f2.4 will be fine. Don't forget you can up- the ISO to make lenses more hand=holdable.
Spare batteries. Spare cards.

So you don't actually know whether "PentaxUK" will respond as 'time allows' or not? Fair enough.
