not sure I agree with you. I'd probably go for an APS or 4/3 DSLR because 1) they have better high speed AF, and 2) the crop factors go in your favour with telephoto. Aside from shooting mid distance with a normal or closed range with a wide, the DoF between a FF and an APS (using something like a 200mm or greater length) will not be "chalk and cheese". One would probably end up shooting FF at 1 or 2 stops below max to get rid of vignetting, and APS would not pick that up because of the crop.after shooting m43 myself and after reading all your feedback and findings, end of the day I would go for a FF DSLR when going on Safari.
Reasons are simple - because I would want shallower DOF and the advantages of higher ISO in combination with those larger sensors.
Of course if one is using the lens wide open then the higher ISO does indeed equate to better shutter, but if you add a stop to the aperture then the system ISO advantage vanishes.
Weight would not be such a major consideration IMHO as when you've got a few lenses (like a 300f4) the 200g extra mass of the body starts being less of a significant issue.
