From a cost vs benefit standpoint I'd be hard pressed to reccommend the K5
unless you really need the few siginifcant advantages it has - high ISO
performance being the main one IMO.
The K20D is available relatively cheap and does a good- not great job.
Advantages of the K-5 over the K20: (off the top of my head)
High ISO noise
Dynamic range
size
usable auto focus
Make that "faster auto focus"
usable auto metering
Make that "more predictable auto metering"
Buffer size
frame rate
But, if you're shooting in relatively static conditions, with good light, the
K20 does a great job.

Saying that the K20's AF and AE are _unusable_ is *way* overstating the
case. *I* use and rely on them. Yes, AF can be annoyingly slow,
especially with SDM in low light. But it works and is accurate, just as
I'm sure the K10 and *istD models are.
