Thanks Larry. I won't sell my K-1 because I am using this frequently for
local concerts (classical, which means no flash light), when these ever
will be started again.
My K-5 is fine for backup but the lack of a tilt screen is a serious
handicap for e.g. macro work. I can't understand now how I ever did w/o
tilted screen.
Unless the new flagship has some attractive innovation it is not a bad
idea to get instead a K-3 II, KP or whatever is offered in bargain sales.

I'm playing with the idea to switch back from FF to a high res APS-C for the
advantages on the long end.
The big advantage of the K-1 is wide fast lenses, since it was released there
have been some APS wide fast lenses that nearly make up the difference for
speed and AoV.
I think that when you’re pushing the limits, the K-1 still has a technical
advantage.
My K-3 is better at shooting any sort of action, except in the lowest of light.
I have to crop much with current lenses on the K-1. I use a Sigma 70-300,
Tamron 70-300 and Pentax 100-300, but these are all cheap lenses providing
much flair (not the Pentax) and softness. Cropping on the K-1 using these
lenses gives me about the same resolution as when used on my K-5.
When I’m birding, I’ll put a K-3 on my long lens.
The Pentax DA 55-300 WR looks like an attractive light lens providing 450 mm
maximum.
For the price of a FF FA 150-450 you can probably buy a flagship APS-C with DA
55-300.
For what it would cost you to sell the K-1 and buy the flagship APS, you
could buy a really nice K-3 II and have both a full frame and an APS.
It will be interesting to see how the new camera performs when it comes out.
It takes about one Moore’s law cycle for an APS sensor to match the performance
of a FF sensor, and the new camera will be about 2 cycles newer than the K-1

I think the original announcement last year specified 24mp.

I think he means size in megapixels rather than physical dimensions.
