Pentax K-50 vs Pentax K-S1?

I'm possibly thinking of buying one of the Pentax's cameras listed above. I've compared the two, on paper. Amazon has the K-50 body listed for $290.00, and the SK1 for $389.00. Is spending the extra $100 dollars on the Sk1 worth it? Is the Sk1 significantly better than the K-50? is Picture quality better? or better in low light? I like shoot nature/landscapes, is one better than the other for that? I see that the SK1 has 20mp compared to 16mp of the k-50.

I have a budget of $600-$650, i don't want a camera with a kit lens. I'd plan to buy a camera body and spend a few hundred more on a better lens than in the kit.

I'm a beginner, i previously owned a Canon Rebel XSI a few years ago until it broke. It had the kit lens. But that's what i started learning to shoot with.

Thanks
