Ok, so after a post on forums.manualfocus.org I got to looking at the K10D and decided it was worth the extra money over a K1000D. Here's my reasoning to ditch the 300D:
--I can't focus at all with the stock screen
--The camera won't meter
--No focus confirmation
The Pentax is compatible with 24 million (!) lenses such as the Pentax-A and -S series as well as using a K -> Screw mount adapter, not to mention the Tamron Adaptall K mount. The focus screen is bright, the camera will meter correctly, and will offer focus confirmation with all lenses.
So is this a lock? Am I thinking right? Since I only use manual lenses as it is, the Canon seems better since it can accept a ton of lenses from Pentacon 6 to T mount. I'm looking for some thoughts from those who have used it for an extended time, and better yet, those who have used manual lenses
PS: is the battery grip worth it? I'm assuming it is...
