Klaus, why do you consider the K-5 to be superior to the D7000? Other than a couple of extra fps and the in-body IS, it seems to be on-par with the Nikon or even trailing (AF points, metering), while costing $400 more.

It's smaller & more rugged. Body-side IS as you mentioned. And more important than anything else - Pentax has a complete dedicated APS-C lens lineup. Nikon has merely isolated solutions here specifically regarding primes.
As for the rest - these are minor differences. Regarding the sheer specs there're also few differences towards a 60D so why would you choose a D7000 over a 60D ? The mid-to-upper class DSLRs are all darn close spec-wise.
