Well I did it. Due to Jim's stellar review and some other lens research, after thinking about it, I just ordered the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 from Prodigital. I called them directly and ordered over the phone. The pleasant woman I talked with told me they have 4 more currently. It should be here in 3-4 days by UPS.

I hear ya. I'm doing the same "reverse LBA". I'm letting go of my Pentax FA28-105 f3.2-4.5 (it's on Ebay right now!).
I've decided the new Tamron will replace the Pentax lens for good. I hate to loose the extra reach from the Pentax, but Tamron's constant f2.8 and pro-build quality are more important to me. Not to mention, I don't like the silver finish on the Pentax.
