My comment wanted to highlight that buying an APS-C body + ultra-wide lens
will cost less than buying a FF body, while staying within a given system
(Pentax or other).
If one thinks it's time to switch (and I've been tempted again and again),
then buying an APS-C body is even more the way to go, for not spending a
fortune all at once.
If one wants to choose within the widest possible range and has no money
problems, again I don't understand your doubts. In that case the choice is
obvious: switch to Canon and buy what suits you best.

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.
