As in the title, anyone made the switch and regretted it purely for this reason? I tend to be a DOF junkie, although for portraiture I'm normally at around f2 to have more keepers. I'm thinking the XT1 at 1.2/1.4 would give a similar look.
I'm contemplating the switch as my needs have changed a lot. In particular I'm attracted to the weight of the XT1 compared to my usual 5D3+35L combo, without a major sacrifice in image quality...particularly when travelling. Talking of which, at times I've left the DSLR behind and purely relied on my phone (LG G3 - which has a fantastic camera btw) when I'm away. Having a smaller and lighter package would mean that I would carry it around more often...me thinks.
I'm sure many would advise having both systems, but I can't really justify that, especially since I'm not shooting much professionally and don't intend to for the foreseeable future - funny how circumstances change so quickly!
