You won't see evidence of the K-5IIs improvement over the K-5II in more than 90% of handheld shots, as you don't have everything else in the quality chain up to the task. On the other hand, you'll have evidence of the K-5IIs improvement over the K-5 (older model) in say 90% of shots in artificial light. For some reason, the K-5IIs seems to manage noise a bit better than the K-5II (and K-5) too. At least, the two K-5IIs bodies I had the chance to try did so.

Funny, as I thought of the 16MP sensor in the K-5IIs as the second
most important reason to upgrade from the K-5 (the first one being
of course the huge improvement in AF accuracy in odd light). 16MP is
already more than I need and I'm happy to delay any forced pixel
count increase as much as possible. That's a wonderful world, isn't
it?

The K-5 has the same sensor, doesn't it?

Yes, but without an anti-alias filter, which means a visible jump in
resolution & sharpness when everything else (lens quality, steadiness
& focus) is at best.

Missed that you were specifically talking about the IIs.  Anyway, I took
both II and IIs on my Alaska cruise, will report whether I notice any
difference in sharpness (although there were essentially zero duplicate
shots taken with the same lens on both bodies).
