This opened my eyes a lot this morning. Like many on here I can get 'obsessed' by having to have the 'best' or sharpest lens, and then I see shots like these taken with the £100 pancake 'kit' lens supplied with the entry level Ollies and see that they're better than anything I've shot. OK so street's not my forte and not something I've done a lot, but still. It makes me wonder why I bother paying the price carrying heavier gear around.

.... Ooops! I'm sure you'll make gear decisions to best suit your needs and aspirations and we both know the potential qualities which only full-frame D-SLR can offer, but the best Olympus gear is very very good indeed (as you also already know). I say this having just returned from a trip to Greece where I shot about 9,000 images using 2 E-M1X bodies and 3 Pro lenses and not having to leave any lens behind each day. Yes I fell over but was not carrying any camera gear at the time.
If you are able to keep both the Nikon and Olympus systems you have then it's just a matter of choosing the right horse-for-the-course each session but if you find yourself not reaching for your Nikon very often, then perhaps it's time to streamline and get more out of the Olympus system.
