FF camera makes sense with fast wide lenses that are not available for APS-C like 14/1.4, 20/1.4, 24/1.4 etc..

Wow. Just... wow. Care to explain why do you absolutely need such fast ultra wide-angle lenses for?

And since neither Canon, Nikon or Sony has a 14mm f/1.4 or 20mm f/1.4, their FF cameras don't make sense in your opinion? (Canon has a $1550 24mm f/1.4, Nikon's is $2000).

And since lenses like this ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR K1 and they are not even planned, the answer is easy:
a) stay with APS-C K mount and wait for K3 successor, or get KP

Are you trying to prevent someone from buying a camera you're often posting against?

By the way, here's what Ricoh Imaging has planned:

b) sell that while it has some value and get something else

There is no "something else".

Using FF camera with 28-105 slow lens is just waste of money, not to mention the size and wight over K50 you are used to.

I own the D FA 28-105 and it's a very nice lens - too good for its price.
