I've considered the helpful replies- thank you everyone- and decided to stick with my M4/3 kit. When my arthritis allows, using my G9 and PL 100-400 is a far lighter combination than the Fujifilm equivalent. I've ordered an additional grip (JCC version) which will help me to more securely and comfortably hold my GX9 and Panasonic 14-140 when I want a more portable combination than the G9 with the 14-140. The Jpegs out of both the GX9 and G9 are a definite step up from earlier Panasonic models, but not quite up to the excellent Fuji film simulations. I shall experiment with the Jpeg settings and see what I can achieve. Unfortunately my finances do not stretch to keeping my M4/3 kit and adding the Fujifilm system. However, this exercise has made me appreciate what I've got!

Thanks again for your contributions.

I think that's a wise move, all systems have their compromises, and whilst Fuji offers a lot of benefits, compared to m4/3's, size and weight isn't one of them. If it's any consolation I'm planning two weeks of 200 miles of hiking, m4/3's would be ideal, but I have Fuji, so I'm having to make compromises on the telephoto end due to size and weight, such is life.
