K-5, no doubt. I recently sold my K-7, and got the K-5. A different world. Less noice at high ISO, Higher ISO ability. Appr. 50.000. Forget the flash: Nice everyday shots at 8000: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/5571771712/
K-5 can utilize the new GPS-device. No more syncronizing in the computer, the image files are tagged on the fly - and the K-5 will set the time according to the GPS sattelite time. No more 21 FPS at low resolution (K-7) though, but much faster AF and FPS at mormal/high resolution. I am planning to sell my K20D (which is actually a very beautiful camera - image quality perhaps better than K-7) and getting a second K-5 for back-up (because it's easier to swop between them - one for standard zoom (FA* 2.8 28-70mm, the other for the FA* 2.8 80-200mm. Then I will of cource miss the tethered shooting ability of the K20D -but what the h..., you can't have everything :-) K-5 is an excellent camera IMO.
