One thing you might want to consider is the value of keeping a backup body.

The live view to me is a bit of a toy. If the screen was articulated so it could work from various angles then it would be useful in place of a right-angle viewfinder add-on, but that is not the case.
The improvements in quality at low light levels seem very real from examples posted. If that is important to you there is a good reason to upgrade, since even the K100D is better than the K10D in that regard.
The Dynamic Range Enlargement gives the equivalent of 1 EV more, not 2, as I understand it.
In particular cases the intervalometer, in-camera RAW processing and autofocus correction may be what you need. I would like the fact it's generally quieter in operation.
Only you can decide if these factors are enough.
