The major reason to shoot DNG instead of PEF is that then you don't have to wait for Adobe to release v3.7 of Camera Raw to process your RAW files, and don't have to install the Pentax supplied software to generate DNGs or process the files (yuck).
It's a trade off: space for convenience. I'll likely turn on DNG and deal with the larger files. They're smaller than the Sony R1 RAW files ... 21Mbytes + 2-4Mbytes JPEG companion file.
