I have very limited experience with these Nikon cameras but it would be easy choice for me: D750!

... The bad news is that the [E-M1] menu system was created by Japanese engineers and is quite frustrating. Also, the camera focus can not track rapidly moving animals or birds as well as top of the line Nikon or Canon. The upcoming Mark II model is supposed to fix that but it remains to be seen.
It's my understanding that the OM-D E-M1 Mark II's menu system has been substantially improved over the original E-M1. I've never owned or used an Olympus camera, but the convoluted menu system is a complaint I've heard often. But it's about the only complaint I've consistently heard about the E-M1. I've been using Panasonic M43 cameras since 2009 and have been very happy with the M43 system except for focusing speed and relatively short battery life. I had been using Nikon D300 until I switched to M43. I've got an E-M1 Mk II on pre-order mainly for the allegedly superb focusing system and insanely fast burst rate. In-camera focus stacking will interesting to play with, also.

We have a Nikon D60 and a Canon 7D at my work and I would still take my older Olympus EM5 over either of them for both size and weight. Image wise there does not seem to be that much difference for most of our purposes. It still your choice, but I encourage you to consider either the new Olympus or Panasonic cameras. I think their abilities will surprise you.

As for you said you had the OM-1 and loved it. I have the OM-1 too and love it too. I find the OMD looks similar to the OM-1 but all the controls are different so I don't like it.

I also shoot with my D50 DSLR. Unless I need the extra pixels or better low light performance it is the DSLR I grab off the shelf for general use. However my DSLR's have mostly been replaced with my Nikon 1 V1 Camera. I find myself using that most of the time. I am also 75 years old. Perhaps that is the reason I gravitate towards the Nikon 1 system for my main use.
