No, they should not. The K5 has gotten more praise than any Sony DSLR, it is built very well and is compact and weather sealed. It has very nice ergonomics mostly too. That is the appeal of Pentax (at least, the K5). Only thing Sony does better is the image stabilization.
Pentax needs to build products for professionals. Not that those will immediately sell in huge figures, but it will be a base to slowly build image and a marketing campaign on.

I have an A900 and it's mechanical ergonomics fare very well to me compared to the last 10 cameras I had in the past 20 years. But the Pentax firmware looks better and the FA limited lenses are very attracting.
