Considering re-buying into the Sigma system. SD15 or SD1...?

Hi Sigma-people!

Long story short:

I bought an SD15 about a year ago. I loved the IQ but it took ages to sort out the back- AND front-focusing 18-50 kit-lens. And I also realized that I need something snappier with video-capabilities (I have a 5-yo kid...).

So I ended up selling the SD15 and buying a Panasonic G3.

I love the G3. Its small, quick, has great AF and video. Som I'm definitely sticking with the Micro Four Third system.

BUT...

I do miss my SD15. So I have started thinking Foveon-thoughts again.

Question is: Should I go for another SD15 och save up for an SD1?

I would mostly be using it for landscaping and portraiture. For everything else I'm very glad with my Panasonic m4/3.

From what I've read the SD1 is cumbersome with large files and slow SPP. And one needs top glass.

Is it worth the hassle...?

Thanks for any input!
