I'm very sorry to hear that your camera has developed the aperture block failure. However, I don't think that's a very expensive problem to fix—several sites have popped up doing just Pentax aperture fixes, and you can always send it to Pentax for repair if you don't trust the smaller shops.

To be clear, it's awful that you have to pay anything—these repairs should be covered under a recall or enforced by a class action—but the price you would pay to get your current DSLR fixed would be far less than what you'd pay for a new KP or K-70.
