I have also gone from M43 to Fuji. And I have no regrets. I have the G9 and G7 and the G9 is a nice camera except its just to big. I found I would mostly use the G7 because of its size (even though everything else was inferior).

At the time I was going to stick with M43, but at that time there was a big questions over Olympus, and Fuji bought out the X-S10, so I made the switch. The X-S10 is a nice camera to use but I wish it had a better EVF. To me the OOC jpegs seem a little better as well but there is not a hugh difference, and probably better autofocus. The X-S10 is just so easy to carry around with its nice grip and it must be the best value for money camera out there. I also though about switching to FF but the price difference but me off FF.

But nothing comes near the lenses available for M43. Fuji has great lenses but some are just too large such as the 16-55mm and the 100-400mm. But they also have some great lenses such as the 70-300mm and others.

I made the switch a couple of years back. Why? The quality of stills. Micro 4/3 is a great system with wonderful features, but the stills output stagnated many years ago. Just one opinion. I see more realness and presence in both people and landscape shots on APS-C vs. M43, when using quality glass.

I dare say you are probably very right. I did notice some improvement, but I certainly do not have the best glass. The limit of 20mp on nearly all M43 cameras is another thing that concerned me.
