The physics is obvious; the sums are easy; the progress of technology is not that fast.
Bigger sensor with fewer megapixels = better quality.
So it comes down to a really tedious discussion about the tradeoff between megapixels, sensor size, and the size of the plastic box they're all shoved into.
Yawn.

quality = sensor area / number of megapixels.
So nothing to see here, move along.
BTW - have a Q. Love it. Have a K20d. Also love it.
Couldn't care less about FF because it'll make my lens collection obsolete.

Lens technology has moved on rather, so 1. the old lenses are probably out-resolved by the sensors (with a handful of commendable, rare and expensive exceptions) and 2. a small number of the more modern lenses techically cover a FF image circle but were undoubtedly designed with APSC in mind foremost. so probably won't stand up to much scrutiny on a FF body.
