I had the K-3. I sold it (them) and moved from APS-C to the K-1. But if/when I decide to revisit APS-C, I would absolutely definitely choose K-3 over K-3ii.
Two reasons. I still haven’t become convinced of any real world advantage to the pixel-shift gimmick. Second, the K-3ii ditches the pop-up flash and puts a GPS in its place. I love the GPS, it is something I asked for when on this list, soon after the *ist-D came out, we did a group discussion off what would we love to have now that our cameras are digital. But the add-on GPS thingie worked just fine. And the pop-up flash on the K-3 and earlier was very useful for occasional fill flash, but even more as a trigger for external flash. I have yet to see a reliable add-on I can use to trigger external Pentax flashes. So the K-3ii is a no go for me and the lack of a pop-up is my major criticism of the K-1.
