The controle layout of the D is - with very few exceptions - brilliant, IMO. Very true to the Pentax tradition (keep it logically, simple and photographer oriented). The buffer problem is "only" a problem when shooting action and panoramas. A high speed CF card (ultra) is a clever investment in order to minimize write time. The DS doen't offer continuos AF.

I find the control layout of the D to be much more to my liking. There have been times when I ran out of buffer with the D. I haven't really been able to do that with the Ds, so far at least.
