Folks who moved from Pentax to Nikon FF: do you miss your limiteds?

Well, I did not move from Pentax to Nikon FF, but I added Nikon FF to my Pentax equipment because of the need of a fast AF and high iso capabilities for indoor sports and concerts I am attending either as accredited or official photographer.

So, I am using both Pentax (K-5 and now also K-5 IIs with a wide bunch of lenses) and Nikon D4 (with the high end glass of Nikon such as 14-24, 35/1.4, 85/1.4, 70-200/2.8 and a few Sigma lenses as well, 24-70/2.8 and 120-300/2.8).

Do I miss the Limiteds on Nikon? From the point of view of IQ, yes, to some degree, while the Nikon lenses are clearly trimmed for sharpness, it results in less pleasant bokeh. But I miss them as compact prime lens, the Nikon primes are great, but they are also large and heavy.

What I regret most when using the Nikon is the user interface of Pentax. On Pentax, be it the K-7, K-5, K-5 IIs, 645D, they all have pretty much the very same user interface and same menu, and well organized. They do also behave exactly the same way. On Nikon however, I am constantly looking through the whole menu when searching for an item, even worse, the menu and user interface is different between D700, D3s and D4.

But for concerts or sports, I would not want to miss the D4 anymore.
