"OT"? What could possibly be more *on-topic* than questions about Pentax photo equipment? :-)
Why take the K100D Super when you've got a K20 and K-x along? It'll just add weight. Have you not got a DA 18-55 kit lens? I'd use that for wide landscapes myself. It's a darned sharp lens. And small and light too.
