I love the K5. No regrets whatsoever. Can't say for sure how it compares to the Kx at high ISO, but, based on other people's pics, the K5 seems to be similar in regard to noise levels, perhaps half a stop better. It's noticeably better throughout the range than any of the Pentax DSLRs I've owned (*istD, k10, k20, and k7).
