Not so fast! First of all, all things considered, since I don't have 
any film glass that I can move to a DSLR system (assuming even the 
Zuikos on the 4/3 systems would be at best stopgap measure), I would 
much rather have a smaller system, than a big system like the 
Kodak/Nikon/Canon. So I want you to be right!
But this aberration may or may not have to do with the sensor size. 
I think the jury us still out of this. For example, looks like the 
Sigma SD9 also has some problems and the x3 is a smaller sensor! See 
this thread:

What the Canon 1D shows already though, is that there are 
significantly more details to be have when you move to a 10-14 
megapixel system. In the ideal case, a camera manufacturer needs to 
have a line of interchangable lens system with SAME sensor size but 
w/ different resolution so that the lens magnification factor is 
constant across the lines. This wouldn't make sense on a full size 
sensor, would it?

But then again you could use the much less expensive system of 
disposable sensors that have no angular color aberration problems. 
They come 36 to a roll.
