We've had a lot of speculation, but here's what I would actually do. I
have no idea how typical I am.

I realize that I'm not as bothered by the APS sensor because I'm not an
ultrawide angle fan.  I've used the 20-35 on my MZ-S but don't use it
that often on 20.  OTOH, I have a Tokina 80-200 f2.8 which is now an
excellent sports lens.  Yes, I know I this is not a real magnification
effect etc., but my point is that I am happy with the FOV my old lenses
now have.  I would also be perfectly happy to buy a FF sensor camera,
but it would have to get much cheaper to tempt me.  If the *istD where
$600 and the FF version were $1350, would I spend the extra?  Probably
not.  The original $1350 for the current APS *ist D got me digital
capabilities in the first place, which was a major change over my then
current cameras.  I'm not sure how much I would pay for a bigger sensor
when the APS version seems to suit my needs just fine.  I'd probably
invest the money in a lens.
