The first thing I found with the K1 is the rear button layout is
simpler, less chance of hitting the wrong button, particularly
accidentally going into Live View Mode as happens with my K5.

If your camera is meeting your needs, no matter what it is, you should
feel no pressure to upgrade. However, anybody with a Pentax body older
than a K-5, with the ability to upgrade, should at least consider
borrowing one for a short while to see if the improved performance might
help them in unexpected ways.
I think that the button layout on the K-1 is the best yet. I rarely
find myself hitting the wrong button by mistake. I've got a couple of
pages of gripes about the design of the software UI, but the button
layout is very nice.

* I'm a big fan of the rendering from that CMOS sensor.
I went to the K20 from the K100, and there wasn't a lot about the 20
sensor that I liked better than the K100 sensor. I did quite like the
ergonomics and feel of it. For studio work it was a very nice body.
Although, once I got the K-x, which had the worst feel in my hands of
any of my Pentax DSLRs, I pretty much stopped using the K20 for anything
but studio work because the K-x sensor was so much better in anything
but the best light.
