The older series lenses are readily available on the used market. And I wouldnt be so quick to claim the older lenses have purple fringing problems.

These are the 50mm lenses that you can buy new from Pentax right now. I only mentioned the DA* 55 because it's only 5mm longer. Besides, I'd bet if they'd included those old lenses, the DA and DFA would still do better (especially in the purple fringing test).
