as soon as you consider DOF equivalency (sorry for mentioning that term) the FF lenses to compare to are getting a bit smaller and most probably a lot cheaper. so i take your price comparison with a grain of salt.

that said, i too think that m43 hits a sweet spot, a very nice balance between performance and size (i wouldn't mind if some of the lenses were a bit cheaper, though). another sweet spot is in my view full frame while i see APS-C as a moot compromise since the advent of the EM5 and the IQ that came with it and the newer m43 models.

Equivalency against the OP's combo doesn't exist, so it's a bit of a moot point.

You could come close with a 5DIII and a 70-300L, but that's already heavier, more expensive and doesn't have solve the 12-40 focal length.
