Depending on how much of the High ISO improvement comes from firmware
there may be an upgrade to the K20D shortly after the release of the new
camera to address that. Remember the *ist-Ds had a similar upgrade to
*ist-Ds2 standard in every feature except the size of the actual back of
camera display after the release of the Ds2. There might even be
improvements in the direct view implementation, on the K20D if it
doesn't require the changes to hardware. Being able to override SR
manually also sounds possible as well. Higher frame rate and higher
shutter speeds would require hardware changes. So about half of your
list may show up in the K20D's next, (and based on past history),
probably last firmware update.

lived without it long enough!.
Better frame rate 5fps+
Better high ISO performance
The ability to override SR manually
Higher top shutter speed 1/8000th sec
In that order would have me thinking of upgrading, but I'd prefer the
size/build of the K20D

You will remember a while back the discussion of the new Pentax
copyright for a lens mount / sealing rings?
I suspect the DA and DFA, which have two different types of rubber 'O'
ring, one called WR, the other not mentioned, will both be
accommodated in the new camera. I'm not going to look, but I don't
know if any of the FA and older lenses have any 'O' ring at all. The
newest lenses will have more of an 'O' skirt, if my memory serves.

You will bitch against older lenses (FA and older)... ;)
Well, at least those upgrading to K-7 (no, it's not compatibility
related, don't worry).
Simply, that feature is DA/DFA only.
