- no mirror slap
- Live histogram
- Live WB view
- faster fps
- super-imposable whatever
- accurate focusing via magnified view
- at least potentially independent from focus shift issues in AF mode
Actually there are no reasons for a mirror full frame body (other than the possible lack of maturity on the mirrorless side although you may discuss this already).
SLRs were introduced as a workaround and it is time that this workaround dies. It's a past concept.

- Live white balance view... You hardly can see WB in sunny conditions on a LCD, so only through a EVF. The EVF's have their very own problems for now... I shoot RAW, and the OVF has the best WB view ever.
- Faster FPS only really makes sense with fast and accurate AF tracking. Which has not been developed yet, without phase detection. No... if you really need fast FPS, no way around a good sports DSLR yet. So, mirror needed to feed a phase detect sensor.
- The only thing I want imposed in the image while trying to judge a photo during framing might be a unobtrusive grid and AF point markings. Everything else will be too intrusive.
- Accurate focussing via a magnified view takes a lot of time, comparatively, so only usable for not fast, static shots. Oddly enough, the current bunch of DSLRs already do that fine. But they also handle fast focussing and tracking fine.
It is the only way yet to actually view through the lens. EVFs are still very artificial. With that, and the need for AF tracking, it is in no sense a past concept for many serious photographers.
