- 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.

I think the focus peeking or whatever it is called as recently added to the NEX would be a nice feature for all EVF going forwards.
n the low light usage, already I have seen on another forum where the GH2 was preferred over a selection of SLRs in very low light usage due to the amplification of viewfinder image, although I'm more impressed they found enough light to take a photo with if it got that bad. Not all implementations are equal either, I believe the Sony live view features low light amplification, whereas Canon do not. So Canon live view is of limited usability in low light conditions. They would have to address that as and when they go EVF too.
Definitely the lack of maturity will prevent mirrorless taking over DSLRs in the short term, at least at the mid to higher end. And until then, full frame DSLRs are the "value" option for big sensor digital.
All the talk of a full frame mirrorless, I think the biggest question is who will make such a thing? I can't see the existing mirrorless players re-defining their mount for it, nor producing a parallel system in addition. Legalities aside, the only other option I see would be a lower cost Leica copy.
In the short to medium term future I find it hard to see mirrorless killing DSLRs except only in the lowest market segments. I think DSLRs could remain a higher end niche in full frame like medium format is now.
