I run both systems and notice the benefits of both.   For me,  the big thing with full frame is:  smoother tonal values,  better dynamic range,  the ability to pull up the shadows without getting too much noise and, when needed, the extra megapixels.

The advantage of u4/3 is small enough to carry with me every day.   Small enough to put a comprehensive light kit together for travel and, one that is missed by many,  more consistent / accurate auto-focus ... because of contrast rather than phase detect system.

It takes awhile to appreciate the full frame advantages so I recommend that you use your Sony for at least 6 months before making a decision.
