Agreed.

It would make more sense to get a D600, IMHO.

The E-M1will give you a bit better handling but the same IQ.

The D600 will open new horizons for you in terms of IQ and DOF control.

Both E-M5 and D600 will complement really well for shooting a wedding.

The E-M1 will give you great results...just like your E-M5 will. If you have the money to add another camera, why not make it a FF. The D600/610 are outstanding cameras and that Sony 24mp sensor has some secret sauce. Great noise control at high ISO and spectacular noise control for long exposures, if you do that sort of thing outside of weddings. You may also appreciate having the shallow DOF. One of my favourite looks is wide angle/shallow DOF and this is something that is difficult to do on m4/3. The 1.8 trio (28/50/85) are all excellent lenses and, if you buy used, you can get the whole trio for about $1000.

Anyways, I've always seen FF and m4/3 as complimentary systems. I also shoot an X100s and trust me, there is little difference between 16mp m4/3 and 16mp APS-C sensors but quite a bit between them and the 24mp FF sensor...for some applications. In many situations, you may not actually notice the difference. Indeed, the tilting screen and touch-to-focus/release on my OM-Ds have made it my go-to people camera, especially for surreptitious shooting at events when I want candid shots.
