Where, in my view Pentax has an edge is low light. Their in-body SR seems to be the worse system on offer, though if you team a Nikon with a f/1.4 lens you have none at all.

Pentax' SR doesn't seem to do well in tests, but in real-life it's superb.

Focal length:35 mm
Focal length (35mm):52 mm
Exposure:1/8 at f/2.8
Lens: Pentax DA 35/2.8 Macro Ltd

Focal length:85 mm
Focal length (35mm):127 mm
Exposure:1/10 at f/4
Lens: Voigtlaender APO-Lanthar 90m/3.5 SL
...and like you say, the best stabilization is the one you have with you. With in-body stabilization you always have it, like the Voigtlaender example above.
