I think any full frame will be priced at least $400 over the K5 ii. If the autofocus is truly as improved as has been hinted at, the camera will be a good buy. The K-5 sensor is superb. The only thing that the camera is really lacking is world-class autofocus. There are plenty of buyers who won't step up to a 2k price.
