I would think the salient point to consider would be that Olympus seems to be committed to better supporting 4/3 lenses on some future body. Do you need better 4/3 lens support. That would almost certainly mean faster focus. It might also mean better focus tracking, but I'm not sure I've seen any mention of that so I would not consider it a certainty.
There are some secondary considerations. For example, they seem to be hinting at a better EVF. They seem to be saying it will be more up market than the OM-D. Then you have to wonder if their financial issues might cause them to delay, change direction, or go under.
If the current level of support provided by the OM-D is sufficient for your purposes, then it just falls back to evaluating its features which are well known, well reviewed, plus there are many sample images available.
Finally, I guess there is the price. I would presume the promised camera will be more expensive than the current OM-D. Consider also that the OM-D is already very pricey. If money is not an issue then OM-D now and promised camera later might be quite workable.
For me, the OM-D was good enough already - most of my 4/3 lenses are used for landscapes. It was a bit pricey, but within my budget. Providing my OM-D keeps going, I don't think I'll need another Olympus body for some time.
