Local shop has a very clean K3 with grip ($550)& 18-135 WR DC ($250) for a seemingly reasonable $800. I'm happy with the K5, though picking it up is like they're coated in drugs and these drugs soak into you system through your fingertips and eye. It happens so quickly you don't even notice.
The K3 has many real world advantages over the K5, small but significant improvements. It also has a few drawbacks. I don't like that I can't set astrotracer times less than 10 seconds. Some of the new menus could be done better, many of those from adding more features.
The nice thing is that in many ways it is close enough to the K5 that they feel the same in your hands, and many of the buttons are in the same place. One problem is that they feel the same in your hands and when you are switching between them it is hard to remember which one you are using, so you know where to press the buttons that have moved.
