Re: "There is a thread on DPR about this. It seems that in typical fashion, DPR did a Bozo the Clown with the K1II. They didn't use the same lens as they did on the K1, and the consensus among some of the sharper tacks that post there is that the K1II images are not focused as sharply as they could be. The conclusion seems to be that very slight misfocus can appear to be heavy handed noise reduction. I wouldn't read anything into the DPR test other than that they are ham fisted morons."
Okay, but there is a test over at PentaxForums that seems to show similar results: https://www.pentaxforums.com/articles/hands-on-reviews/k-1-ii-vs-k-1-noise-image-quality.html That reviewer concluded that the K1II images looked better. That's a judgement call. What I've seen tells me that I should stick with my K-1. If anyone else prefers the II, that's fine.
