The K5000 are not better in my opinion. Have buckles instead of laces. Also have screw in spikes which can be a pain to swap out when it comes time to replace them. Since the threads start to corrode.

I use the K 1100 PLUS series. They have more spikes than the regular 1100 series. And have push in carbide spikes that are easily replaced. Can also replace the laces easily as well.

While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

I have both ... although I had both as the lace ups were at my folks house and my mother is a fanatic about throwing stuff out if it's not used regularly.

That said, I only have the buckle ones, not as good, but still okay ... although I believe the 1100s and 1100 plus are less expensive than the others.
