I continue to believe that it will be the 42MP Sony sensor used in the Sony Sony a7R II and recently Cyber-shot RX1R II. A 36MP sensor would be a significant upgrade from the current 24.3MP APS-C line, of course, but that 36MP sensor has been around so long that I feel Pentax would be opening themselves up to "Why didn't I just switch brands when Nikon released the 800/800E 4 years earlier (though, to be fair, the Pentax offering would probably be better compared with the Nikon D810, which was introduced a mere TWO years ago).
Based on what other manufacturer's full frame camera owners have said, a full frame sensor will definitely impact the selection of lenses you are satisfied with. You don't have to be a big pixel peeper to detect poor corner performance and this is the area that I expect to be the differentiator. Although it is "mind over matter". If you don't mind - it don't matter!
