Were I you, I would look at the Nikon D7000 or the D600.

Subject: [OM] Thinking of taking the plunge....
I've had Olympus gear since my first OM2n in college. I stuck with it,
bought a 4Ti, have several lenses, and a T45 and a couple other
flashes. So, it was natural to go with the E-1 when I went digital.
Also bought the FL-50. Have been happy with the gorgeous images I
get.... when there's plenty of light.
However, I work with a number of musicians, and often I'm at one of
their gigs when the regular photographer isn't there and I need to grab
some shots for Facebook or a website.
And that's when my E-1 lets me down with crashing disappointment.
Miserable performance with stage lighting.
So....... I think I've made the decision that I want to sell off the
entire OM kit, including all of the MF lenses and the whole E-1 kit and
put the money towards something that can take concert shots. Two of the
guys I know are big on Canyon, the other shoots N*kon.
I do this mostly as a hobby - I don't get a lot of money for the online
stuff, so a fully-pro body is out of the question. So is a $15,000
superfast tele.
I now cast out amongst the brains on this list - make a few
recommendations for me. Something in the prosumer range. The main need
is for excellent performance in low light. And I will need a flash. I
would consider a one-generation-back used body if it meant I had more
money towards a lens and flash.
I await your answers.
