I wouldn't have a problem buying another lens or lots more lenses. The
question is whether I feel it wise to invest in more K-mount lenses when I'm
not sure Pentax is going to be around in a couple of years, or if they will
be producing the camera I wish to purchase.

Buying an extra lens (ultra-wide) will cost you less than buying a FF SLR
and then you'll gain a bonus telephoto lens in your outfit. That's all.

I agree with you to a large extent. I'm whining because I would like my
lens/camera combo to produce results like a 35mm camera body, i.e., a 28mm
lense produces an image on the sensor with the normal 28mm FOVm instead of
42mm.

Formats are only names now. A 645D would probably be no larger or heavier
than the current Canon D1s Mark II, and Pentax has already said it's
sensor won't be true 645 dimensions. Most prosumers cameras and some pro
models will probably remain APS-C. It's all just semantics.
