Got a chance to run around with the K30 this weekend, there is a
difference between reading specs and actually handling the camera.
One of my assumptions was it would be like downgrading from say the
K10D to the K200D or the K-m but I was pleasantly surprised that it
had the dual dials of the K-5; and except for the button layout at the
back (similar to the K-r) almost everything else was the K-5. There is
an improvement in focusing--less hunting and more precise.

Aren't you one of the re-enactors, sir?
For me, having hyper-P mode and two dials would mean approximately
equivalent to K-5. That's the single thing I use most often when I am
shooting with my K-5.
You're a capable photographer, Bong, but you know that already. And K-30
seems like a good camera. Let's hope that no QC issues make it hard for
Pentax. I would be fascinated to know what awaits beyond K-5.
