K50 or KS2 w/18-135mm WR

Hi Folks,

I recently came back to Pentax with the K50 and 55-300 WR. I'm very happy with this combination. For stills, it's hard to beat!

However, I now "need" another lens, probably the 18-135 WR. Knowing the way I am about changing lenses, I will want another body for this lens. Once again, I find myself comparing the merits of the K50 and the KS2. When purchased with the 18-135mm, there is less than $150 difference in price.

Fortunately, the price is not a problem for me, but I note the KS2 is a little heavier, supposedly has a grip that is not quite as good, is not as comfortable with big lenses, etc,. I like cameras that are fun to use. The vari angle LCD is noted, but not important to me.

Forgetting price, can anyone give me any reasons to buy the KS2 instead of another K50? Maybe the video is a tad better? Any comments appreciated.

Jack
