Unfortunately I have already deleted those files (as I do with most of
my "technical" shots).
But I have wrote down some observations:
60mm - DA*60-250 is sharper at f/4. At f/8 two lenses are practically
the same in sharpness, but I like the bokeh of 60-250 a bit more.
90mm - no significant difference in sharpness between the lenses. For
me, longer zoom still has better bokeh.
135mm - at f/4 DA*50-135 seems to be a bit sharper at corners, but I
can't find any difference at center of frames. At smaller apertures
DA*60-250 jpegs show slightly more contrast than DA50-135 ones.
I really like the internal zoom mechanism and relative compactness of
50-135. However, I can not use this lens with film body (Z-1p). Also,
the focal range of DA*60-250 seems more practical and f/2.8 aperture
have never been my first priority. For ULTIMATE quality I have and use
50, 70, 135 and 300mm Pentax primes (and 90mm Tamron macro). So it seems
that although I have no real urge to sell DA*50-135, there's also no
good reason to keep both zooms.

with both we would love to see them.

Congrats!
.... and wasn't that you, who wanted to buy some Tamron... ;) DA*60-250
is expensive lens and worth of every penny. Yesterday I made
some direct comparisons with DA*50-135 (my favorite zoom so far!) and
now it seems that I'll sell my DA*50-135.

It showed up just before dark, and I only played with it a bit. But it
has a wonderful feel. Zero wobble when extended. Solid as a rock.I
noticed that with the K20d and battery grip, it seems to balance
perfectly on the tripod foot.
I shot a bit. The bokeh looks fabulous. First impression is that
autofocus is right on, and the focus field appears to be flat. I'll
check that more carefully tomorrow. Perhaps I'll even make a few
photographs.
