It's probably unfair to compare sensor performance only.
And we all know some glaring (I almost wrote "gloring") shortcomings in
Pentax cameras.
And there are some strengths of them as well.
So, if I had three cameras of a comparable class (AFAIK, 5DmkIV is
somewhat above K-1 in the class, isn't it?), - P, C, N, and I had to
assign a "fair" price (i.e. neglecting the brand name premium),
that would be a very hard job.
The fully ideal camera will never happen, something will always be
missing, as you cannot attache the head of Steven to the body of Peter.
Don't take me wrong, - I still like my K-5 IIs.

When you add the D810 to the mix, it squeaks by on score for slightly
better performance at ISO < 100.
Admittedly, the Canikons do perform slightly better than the Pentax at
some higher ISOs (generally over 12,000). Realistically, I don't think
many people would be able to tell the difference in sensor performance
in the vast majority of situations. Cost seems to be
Canon $3500
Nikon $2800
Pentax $1800
