K1 vs K1 II Colors Different/Better?

By any chance, for all you guys that had the K1 and did the board swap or sold your K1 for the MKII do any of you have a basic "before and after" samples in RAW and Jpeg?

In other words, did you take a few photos of this and that around your house or whatever, then after getting the camera with the new board did you retake the shots and compared? Are the differences obvious and better or can the images from the K1 simply be adjusted in PP to make it look like the MKII?

I watched this video below from Cameraville showing how the colors and WB from the MKII are better? How do you feel about this and how are skin tones? I know the K1 produces really nice skin tones, what has changed in the MKII?

One of the reasons why I ask is because (usually) when there is a new camera something changes. I used the Fuji XH1 for around 12 months or so and I got rid of it because no matter how much I tried in PP, the color tones were simply not as nice as the XT1, per what my eyes see and according to my color palette, the color output from all the newer Fuji cameras are not exactly the same anymore and there was something different that simply turned me off so I went back to the older model and I'm happy once again.

Are the skin tones better, the same, worse? Have you noticed any differences and how do you feel about the chance if any? Again, do you have those before and after samples?
