Looking at them on my cell phone this morning I was able to guess which was which before even looking at the captions. I still have pretty good eyes, but on a 4 inch screen and without them being enlarged, I'm pretty impressed with the IIs.:-)

Here are both file sharpened using FocalBlade:

While I cannot speak for others, I honestly can't find any advantage to the K-5 IIs in this particular scene. Though if we factor in moire and false color, then the K-5 II really does seem to gain the upper hand in this race..
