Re: K3 II or K1 as upgrade fro KR

None of the three lenses you have listed are designed to properly cover the full frame format. The K-3 (which has a flash) and K-3ii (with other capabilities in place of the flash) have more pixels than the crop portion of the K-1, although it isn't yet apparent how that will affect relative image quality. They will be close. In any event, FF lenses (good ones) are necessary to gain benefit from going to the FF format. That is the larger investment necessary.

Some early indications point to the probability that the K-1 will be better than the K-3 series for action AF. Keep in mind the K-3 series AF is substantially superior to the KR already, especially so in low light.
