Need help on noise compare: K30/50 vs K-S2

Well, I'd love to get a K-3 ... but no money.

So I'm still torn between K30/50 vs K-S2

Could anyone who has the two models please compare the JPG noise differences between the 16MP and 20MP sensors at ISO 3200 with the same lens? I'd rather see a "real life" comparison than a studio comparison.

And yes, I HAVE TO take a lot of my shots at ISO 3200.

Understandably that I get more bells and whistles and a better focus engine from the K-S2. Just want to make sure that the noise isn't too "intrusive".

Also, which one has louder shutter noise.

Thank you in advance.
