Jorgen,
No need to rationalize or explain to me. I was responding to Marc's post immediately preceding mine. I guess it didn't thread quite as I thought it would.
It's all good, far as I'm concerned. A solid Nikon is a fine camera.
I've been traveling since last Wednesday with only the Leica X. It's been enough: light, small, solid, great photos, and easy to use. Only thing it's lacking is that added bit of responsiveness that the M9 and E-M1 have.

Godfrey,
The "do-it-all" wasn't something that I expected to happen and nothing I was searching for until I actually held the camera in my hand. It's never a 100% true notion of course, but for now, it's good enough.
To have a camera like that has two consequences for me:
- I save money by only having to buy lenses and other stuff for one camera system.
- I travel a lot, and m4/3 has mostly been great for that, but sometimes during my travels, the need arises for higher resolution, less DOF, better AF etc., not because I couldn't mostly get the images I needed or wanted before, but because the commercial value of my photos increases and because I can stretch the limits further.
When going to places where few westerners travel, and that I never know if I will be able to return to, not bringing the best camera gear that I can afford would be silly. Not being prepared for more or less any shooting situation would also be silly. Bringing a camera that doesn't have a user interface that makes the job as easy and as fluent as possible doesn't make sense.
It's not only about pushing ones vision. It's also about pushing physical limits and about using a system that has been proven to work always. Nikon cameras are rather boring, but like a MacBook or a Toyota, they mostly work the way they are supposed to.
