Hi, i had a similar dilemma to the poster. I have recently sold my D300 and decent set of primes (180 f2.8, 35f2, voigtlander 40 & 58) and switched to m4/3 for health reasons (weight). I had to weigh up (excuse poor pun) choosing between faster AF (although not necessarily more accurate), swivel lcd, built in EVF etc. I was sorely tempted by the EP1 and I thought it might have been ideal but in the end plumped for the G1 (price factor too, great deals on it now).
Its horses for courses. I chose G1 as quite like a deep grip, and looking through a 'traditional' viewfinder (even if it is evf) due to my eyesight. I cannot crouch and the swivel screen allows me to frame shots quite easily.
Theres pro's and con's. Based on 90% of the threads i've read EP1 buyers love the camera. I am in no doubt had i chosen the EP1 (even though due to medical reason i would be very slightly more restricted) I would have loved it.
Just my 2 cents
