I have the standard focusing screen. I think the O-ME53 is worth the investment, at the beginning the improvement seems marginal, but it does benefit the manual focusing experience. Having said that, probably is not replacement for a split focusing screen -if that's what you like- but I would guess it probably pairs nicely with one. At least is a one time only investment, I use it with a *istD, *istDS, K10D and K20D.
For the brief moment I had the chance to try it with the K-7 it seemed to work perfectly -I didn't know if the 100% view would make the O-ME53 crop the view or some other problem- but it felt as useful as with the K20D. I would say that any review you find about the O-ME53 and a K20D/K10D is probably also valid for the K-7 as well. It works better when I wear contacts, but I manage to use it with glasses too.
