I have made a similar journey. My MFTs are lumix GF1, one colour, one converted for IR. Back to the S5pro; easily carried and the D700 lovely quality with pop from nikkor 85mm 1.8 but a heavy carry. I travel overseas with the GF1s, walk with the S5 and do studio /reprographics with the D700. They are all highly capable of good output subject to some thoughtful time for composition. If I could only keep one it would be the S5 with tamron 17-50 even after all these years. The real truth is the best camera is the one in the hand after single eyed considered approach to composition and a light touch with the edits. The S5 stops one from rushing,

Your case is very similar to me. IN cases i want the best from my gear i will travel with the olympus and the good lenses i own. in case i want to do portrait photography i will take the fuji, and the olympus too. now the nikon i have to wait to see if there is place in my back:)
