Jim,Not sure if this will show what I am commenting on as it is a downsized print posted to Flicker and then reposted here. The detail is far better in the original but I don't have access to those files here.
This is a 12-40 capture on an EM-1.

while this portrait is outstanding I would say that under such studio conditions most cameras (and lenses) just rock. I am almost sure that a shot form the XE2 or XT1 with the kit 18-55 at least looks as good. And also clear that an excellent photographer like you makes most equipment just sing
Where really you start seeming the better IQ from the Fiji is in normal and bad light situations. There is clearly more substance to the Fuji files than any m43 (or 43) camera. Also I did not want to believe this but again and again I have seen the difference - so for me it is a clear situation. Others of course may see this different. But sensor size is simply ruling here and will always do so.
Aside from this m43 of course has a number of advantages, mainly in size. Unfortunately with cameras like the EM1 or GH3/GH4 which bring m43 best IQ this size advantage starts going away. And this is for me the most important aspect of choosing m43.
