I'm not sure about the point of your arguments. You are comparing a MFT to a FF DSLR which is 3x as heavy. The essence of MFT is not shallow DOF nor will this ever happen. A high quality 24/4 is pretty neat though - in fact you even haven't anything "faster" on APS-C DSLRs. A 90/3.5 is just fine for basic portraits. The Voigtlander 90/3.5 is also available on FF and the mainstream is f/2.8 - which is not much faster either.

Of course I´m talking from the point of my personal preference only. I got a bit irritated by press release materials and many comments talking about "....finally beautifully blurried background with 12mm/f2.0" and "paper thin DOF of 45/f1.8".
Also no doubt this deed - releasig usable m4/3 body with these two primes - can finally save the whole 4/3 concept. I hope there is no need to say that the 4/3 DSLRs are more or less dead system by now (as I predicted at the time of their first introduction).
Yes, like I said, it is nice to have those two fast primes which finally make the m4/3 an option even for a serious shooter. I just wish they (somebody) did such a set with full frame sensor - to squeeze the max.image quality and DOF possibilities into a more portable body.
