The question is, is there anything wrong with my current camera/combo? Is it holding me back because it lacks features that I need? Obviously the OP thinks it is. These are just some avenues he needs to consider.
Plus, I just want a new camera! I have had the disease several times.
Ernie, you're going to have to stick your foot in the mirrorless puddle while you're still young enough to slosh around in it a bit. When the R-2 comes out (or maybe sooner), some of us will start to pester you to buy one. Then you can blame us when you finally yield to the temptation.
As for when and how one should buy new equipment, I stand by an observation I came up with several years ago: The better photographer one already is, the more difference better equipment makes. If you're not getting the most out of your current gear, you're unlikely to benefit much from an upgrade, no matter how much you spend or what you spend it on.
Hmmm . .? No reply from the OP yet. Did anybody click on that funny looking link at the end of his original post? 
Something "phishy" here?
