Tell me if this sounds right...

My friend whom I got into photography with a Canon SX-50 long zoom P&S  wants to up his game a little...
His friend is a nikon 5200 shooter with the two kit lenses...   and is suggesting the new Kit/combo 
I am going to sell him on a K50 with the WR 18-55 and WR 55-300  (he loves the long zoom of the canon so I think the extra 100 on the 55-300 will be less of a shock for him.   I loaned him my KX and the kit lenses to try out...    that combo comes out in the $650 range  
He can borrow some fixed lenses from me, and some old MF stuff if he chooses to go old-school,  although he seem very AF centric now.   
I think the K50 - plus the WR 18-55 55-300 seems too good to pass up...
Anything I am not aware of on the K50?   Any problems?  
Thanks
