Makes sense to me. Although you appear to assume few things. E.g. it would seem that the newest engine was given to Pentax at its beta or pre-release stage so that Pentax could develop their system. It is because as you indicated the newest engine was made publicly available just recently. If such is the case, personally, I would suggest to skip this upgrade until it is properly and fully debugged.
