I didn't stick with micro four thirds for too long. I felt that while it was clearly superior to my tiny point and shoot sensor, it was miles behind APS-C for low light performance, depth of field and clarity. Those ultra-high resolution MFTs can only go so far - a small sensor is still a small sensor.
A couple of years back, I bought a Sony A6000 (they're up to A6300 now) and love it.
Mirrorless APS-Cs occupy a really interesting space.
Small and light enough to carry around all the time (unlike even the lighter DSLRs I've tried). Big enough sensor to (potentially, depending on the body/lens) offer great low light performance, clarity, and reasonably good DOF control. Depending on the shutter type, blazingly fast continuous drive (the 11fps on the A6000 is incredible).
I still have my Nikon D90 (APS-C DSLR) but it doesn't see as much use these days. The portability and convenience of the A6000 (micro USB charging, wifi transfer of photos to my phone) make it my go-to. The lenses I have for the Nikon, however, are superior. The format (Nikon F mount) has been around for a very long time, and really high quality lenses are really affordable these days.
I definitely think it's a move worth making.
