I decided I'll put all of my Nikon FF gear on sale in the next few days and I'll upgrade my G3 to either a GX7 or a E-M1. Ideally I'd like a E-M1 in a GX7's body.. Oh well, we can't have it all I suppose.
Thanks for the nice report. I had a similar experience years ago from APS-C (30D, 40D, + a bunch of high quality lenses) to MFT and never looked back one second. And trust me, I quit it for a less than perfect E-P1 :-).
You are enjoying your G3 nicely but let me tell you there is a HUGE improvement on the E-m5, E-P5, E-PM2, E-PL5, E-M1 sensor generation. That extra one stop in DR & noise control we were missing from the beginning.
Interestingly, now that honey moon has faded a little, and spending considerable time on flickr, I can point out relatively easily what comes from full frame DSLR. There is still something else than just DOF control & noise control, there is some smoothness to the tones... So you may join me on noticing the difference again too and missing it later :-).
If I were you, I'd keep my D800 with just a couple of lenses for unique scenarios (super high res capture + tilt shift ? extra high quality tele? - or any other things missing in MFT) and would drop the rest in favor of the smaller system.
