Panasonix gx1 vs entry level dslr

I have had my gx1 for almost two weeks and I absolutely loved it for my trip abroad. I use the powerzoom and 20mm pancake lenses and love that I can slip the camera into my jacket pocket and the spare lens into my breast pocket (or inside jacket pocket). The IQ is remarkable, but I do find the auto white-balance to be good, not great. That can be frustrating when trying to do street shots while sightseeing.

Besides size, I find myself wondering what the advantage of the gx1 would be over a entry to mid-level dslr. Basically, I am trying to determine if I should move to dslr instead as I could probably live without the size advantage.
