Regarding the financial and marketing angle..If both sensor/filter combinations are similar cost then why not just produce both versions at the same price and let the customer pick which he/she prefers in the same way that they might choose a white camera over a blue one or a red over a black.
Personally though I think the K5IIs is a "testing ground"/stop-gap model, firstly to generate a little more interest in what's now an old body (relatively speaking) and secondly to see how many people really want a non-AA filter model, I'm guessing if demand is high then we'll probably only see non-aa filter models in future
Ultimately though I won't be spending on another body until the K5 replacement comes along..which hopefully will be quite soon as it might quell my thoughts on moving elsewhere for a FF model.

You need to calculate all of your costs and then factor in any commission that the outlets will charge on your sales, probably between 30/40%. Depending on your target market pricing could be a sensitive issue so minimising costs whilst retaining a good product are essential to make it worth your while. Good luck!!

Lens and pouch are both mint condition but the box is slightly worn so to reflect this price is £250 including RMSD

I find the best approach is to ask them what they normal pay for such images, good quality magazines will already have a price in mind...they'll probably quote slightly lower for obvious reasons but it gives you a good starting point for negotiation. It's worked for me anyway!!

I love the 3rd. It has the feel of an old slide photo, very nostalgic. Sky is spectacular.
Could the foreground sand maybe take a half stop brightness reduction?
