I find the biggest advantage of K-5 autofocus is that it's able to lock in with relatively little light. As you note, continuous autofocus is better, but spot autofocus is also able to lock onto moving objects much more easily than was that of the K-7. I've used only SDM lenses thus far -- the opposite of your experience
