I'm leaving Pentax, the main reason being I want full frame (well not full frame specifically but the lower pixel density & noise associated with that) I abhor digital noise, I can't help it that's just the way I am.

Hopefully since there is no Pentax equivalent to the D700, John might be more lenient! It could give us all some insight into the APSc vs. FF debate, which is a non-brand specific issue (or it would be if Pentax got their finger out and gave us the FF option!)
Or maybe the advantages of FF will turn out to be not as significant as expected

The three shots can also give you more latitude than RAW would have given you - you can pull back detail from images up to about one and a half stops overexposed, but that's the limit, and after that the sensor does not pick up any detail, only a solid white block, which no manipulation can put detail back into.
HDR can potentially give you unlimited exposure latitude. Say if you were taking pictures in a cave. If you expose for the cave walls, the mouth of the cave is going to be overexposed by a lot more than a couple of stops - you will have a white circle with no actual detail recorded in it. HDR can give you perfect exposure for the cave walls and the landscape framed by the entrance of the cave. The only drawback is that this would look completely unnatural!

On Sunday I purchased a shoulder bag from a Reeboc outlet. It's lightweight and holds a K10D and grip with DA*50-135mm lens with room for even the largest of my lenses.

Have fun picking a kit bag to house all that lot - you wouldn't want to be out taking photos and get caught without that crucial piece of glass! Tamrac do something suitable, as seen here: link
