Currently, I am shooting wildlife (birds mainly), motor sports (cars and bikes), cycling and general stuff like holiday snaps, etc. with a D780, Sigma 150-600C and Nikon 28-300, oh! and a D40. Over the past few months I have been finding carrying this gear around nature reserves and race tracks is getting to be a pain - quite literally.
Not knowing much about m4/3 cameras or lenses (and feeling totally punch-drunk from watching YouTube videos) I have been looking at the OM Systems OM1 plus a150-400 100-400 lens, plus something smaller for everyday use.
I have lots of questions but the main one is; will this combination give me the same results that I get from my Nikon kit, or should I be looking elsewhere?
Some additional information that might colour any responses:
Edit: I specified the wrong long lens for the OM-1 and have corrected it above.

I have lots of questions but the main one is; will this combination give me the same results that I get from my Nikon kit, or should I be looking elsewhere?
Some additional information that might colour any responses:
- The difference in weight between the D780 and a Z body isn't enough to sway me in that direction
- I don't really get on with prime lenses, much preferring the adaptability of zooms even at the expense of image quality
- Physical equipment size is also important
- My budget for new/used kit will be whatever I can sell my existing system for plus about £150
