Features list does not account for ergonomics and intuitiveness. As
an aside note, Canon bodies below A2 lack spot meter. Really, you
shouldn't let yourself overwhelmed by the features pack. Sometimes
it's not what the manufacturer advertises, other times they are barely
useable.

The average list member has at most 3 lenses - you can hardly call
this a substantial investment. As for old glass availability, it's
been years since Pentax has the thinnest market. It's easier than
ever to find used stuff for any of the other 3 brands.
If you haven't find any satisfaction in using your Pentax gear, then
it's unlikely our answers will uncover it for you.
