DA 17-70, hardly ever off the camera unless I'm using a prime, despite owning a DA*16-50.

That's a strange verdict in the sense that the 20-35mm was a film camera lens and the 16-45mm was much later and quite disconnected in any timeline.
It was with relevance to how useful the lens would be on a crop sensor DSLR, in this case the Pentax K10D where it would have a field-of-view equivalent to 30-53mm

Thank you for the link, John! In Verdict, it was said "The Pentax SMC-FA 20-35mm f/4 AL is a very good lens but it doesn't really offer much over its successor - the SMC DA 16-45mm f/4 ED AL.", and I think its successor should be DA 12-24mm f/4, or?

It is a lens hard to find, though...
I don't think the DA 12-24 was released before the review of the FA 20-35 so probably just timing. Some of the better FA zooms can be hard to find depending on their popularity when released, which often depends on cost and perceived value to the buyer.
