I'm a confessed tech junkie myself, and I keep a close eye on mirrorless cameras, but I'm still hanging on to my D610 for now. I do a lot of fast action photography, so even though I have not tried any high end mirrorless cameras, nor read anywhere so far that they were equal of superior to DSLR, I will not switch.
Another reason to wait is that I've started 30 years ago with a film camera, and I'm so used to the look of a FF camera with its lenses. For that reason, I wouldn't want a mirrorless camera that is not FF, but with such condition, I won't save much on the bulk though. Unless there's something I don't get, lenses for FF DSLR and FF mirrorless cameras will be about the same size, so no gain in term of size.
Lastly, with all the lenses (4) I like to have with me at all time, even if they are 30% smaller and lighter, I'll still have to carry a bag. Not sure I'm saving much on that end.
That being said, I'd like to purchase a mirrorless camera to get used to this technology, and have something very small and pocketable when I choose not to bring my DSLR, something that doesn't happen very often.
