I can definitely see a difference, but looking at two almost identical images like this on a middle-of-the-road monitor (a HP ZR24w) also shows me that the differences are easily masked by differences caused by other factors (such as the angle at which you are viewing the image). If I shift my head from side to side (by about one quarter of the viewing distance) there is a significant change in contrast (which, of course, affects perceived sharpness) which makes it much harder to spot any actual changes. As others have said, the pitting on the upright (and details visible through the small hole in the spool near the top of the image) do show differences. I don't think much of the photography I do would benefit from this kind of thing (not to mention that I'm already concerned that if I do get a K-3 the increase in file size is going to put a strain on my computer system).
