I will mainly use the camera on trips and holidays and have chosen m34 due to size, weight and picture quality. If i bring too many lenses, it will no longer be small and light.

A Canon 5DIII with 24-70 and 70-200 f/2.8 lenses (yer basic travel kit) weighs 3250 grams and costs $6300.

A GX8 with 12-35 and 35-100 f/2.8 lenses weighs 1150 grams and costs $2700.

It would cost and weight the same had Canon offered 24-70/5.6 and 70-200/5.6 lenses for it as well. Unfortunately, that would mean evil of both worlds; big and slow, which would simply defeat the purpose of a full frame camera to begin with. And since you link to this post from the other thread, it was answered there as well,

Larger operational envelope (with similar tech) will always be heavier, and cost more.
