That was an interesting read and what he writes kinda sums up what I thought would be the case without having tried any of them myself.
The remaining concern I have for main sensor phase AF stems from the recent dpreview review, saying with a f/5.6 lens they found phase EV only worked with enough light "roughly equivalent to a dull overcast day". Below that, it switches back to contrast AF. So there a DSLR still has a significant advantage. Generally phase AF on a DSLR still works for me far beyond the point I've run out of light for a sensible hand held exposure.
