Wow!!
First off - I'm blown away by the responses here. I posted this at work and by the time my commute was over there is a TON of feedback here - Thanks for all of the input!
I've had a keen eye on the K5iis even when making the decision between it and the OM-D I currently have. I was comfortable with my selection then and I believe the OM-D has allowed me to grow a ton as a photographer (it's so easy to take it everywhere and anywhere that I shoot about 6 of 7 days a week) - even if it's just taking a few back roads on my way back from work and snapping a few!
Only recently have I been re-interested in the K5iis when I noticed the INSANE prices it's been at on amazon for the past few days.
It felt like a total steal at it's current price and I am getting more and more comfortable with the idea of a two body setup as well as looking for a little more DR in some of my photos.
THAT SAID: I totally am on board with the skill of the photographer being the most important part of a photo..I told a friend the other day when they asked about taking "good photos" as a function of buying a "good camera" and my response was that I could buy them a "good guitar" but it wont help them play guitar any better (I knew they were not a musician)
I think I should take some GAS pills - slow my roll with these "black friday deals" - and focus on what I have and how to become better at the craft. After all - money doesn't buy happiness nor flicker views, let alone spots in a gallery.
Thanks again for all of the responses!

I was hoping you good folks over here could help me out with something that's been eating at me recently.
I've been in M4/3 for about a year now (EM-5) and I'm playing with the idea of attempting to dabble with landscape photography at the (entry level) professional level - (Still could use LOTS of practice)
I am well aware of the differences lenses and techniques can play into these types of scenarios - let alone composition, lighting, subject matter....and so on....
BUT from strictly the sensor output level:
1. Will I be blown away by the difference in files out of the K5iis vs the EM-5?
2. Might I be better off saving my pennies and to make the jump to a FF sensor system such as Nikon D800 or one of the A7s?
