I dont have the Tamron but for me its a no brainer: wait for the K New.

Are you saying you would favor the higher MP count of the APS-C compared to the lower MP count of the K-1 in crop mode? Or that you think the K-new will have faster AF than the K-1? (Obviously that second question is a guess at this point.)

(I shot my daughters netball games with K1 and DFA 70-200 and no complaints)

I have considered replacing the Tamron with the Pentax, but to do that I'd have to be convinced that its IQ is on par with the Tamron. When stopped down to f/4, that Tamron is easily as sharp as any lens in my bag (including the Limiteds and Sigma EX).
