In addition to what BC said above, I would rate the absolute quantity of the AF points as less important than their spread across the frame. Some of the recent full frame Nikons have a boatload of AF points, but what's the point (pardon the pun) if they're all closely clustered in the center? And it's not some academic observation: I often run into a situation where my intended target is outside the focusing grid. Even on my 1D Mark IV that's sometimes the case. I can focus and recompose, of course - and that's what I do - but it's not very convenient.
33 is plenty if the frame is well populated.
By the way, I think we've been missing a big question to ask: Klaus, are you going to start reviewing Pentax full frame fare?
