A pixelshifted k1 image is very close to the quattro, maybe even better however pixelshift depends on still weather for landscape while a quattro can shoot in any weather.

I had the k1 and loved the pixel shifted images but limited utility, restricted lenses and the size of the camera led me to sell it and stay focused on sigma and sony.  Hopefully, sony will at some point implement a pixelshift feature.

First off, you have some great photos!

I have a K3-II and a DP2 Quattro.

Probably the K3-II is not the one you should get, I would recommend the full-frame K1 instead, if you can swing it (and if enough of your lenses cover full frame. K1 has 36MP and thus is pretty close to the sd Quattro sharpness.

Have you made any prints from both Pentax and Sigma source files? I would recommend printing them both at 8x10 or larger size and looking at how the prints come out.

The sdQ can be considered, however it is a different way of operating and different way to handle exposure (which I haven't quite nailed yet, in difficult lighting situations). Probably you should spring for the sdQH, if you want to make 20x30 or higher prints.
