I had exactly the same decision to make a few weeks ago. Coming from an EOS 7D I looked for the best FF camera for architecture, landscape and portrait photography. After trying the Sony A7III I decided to go with the Pentax K-1 for the following reasons:

- The digital viewfinder was a total dealbreaker for me: the resolution is not good enough, on a sunny day it is too dark and there’s a lag when moving the camera.

Yes, fully agree. I saw the electronic viewfinders about 2 months ago and it does suffer the lag. Also it is just not what one sees.

- Too many controls are buried in menus. I need a camera I can handle blindly looking through the viewfinder.

Yes, too deep menu navigation  is not helpful

Very nicely put --
