Nice set of tests. What this shows is that while the 5d has the ultimate advantage at high ISO, the OMD sensor and processing offers more bang for the buck/size. I think Canon was kind of setting on the laurels (which they're about to run out of) of their large sensor, while Olympus worked hard to squeeze out every last drop of quality.

I think you went a little overboard in the description of the WB. It's a fact that the room is yellow. Would you want the same scene, illuminated by daylight and a incandescent bulb, to look the same? Would you want "magic hour" shots to look as though the light was white?

Canons, by design, let a little of the yellow creep in. This can easily be corrected in camera settings, or in RAW.

The 5D II is an old camera by now. If the test would have been a 5DIII vs an OMD it is very possible that the advantage would be another stop in favour of teh Canon.
