Mirrorless cameras are cheaper to build--that's an advantage to the manufacturer, not the consumer who pays the same regardless. Weight and dimension differences (for full frame) are insignificant at this point--yes, you can make cameras much smaller, but hand-size will always be the same on average. For someone looking to purchase their first high-end camera--meaning someone without a large collection of legacy lenses and bodies, mirrorless is a reasonable choice, and at this time, Sony is probably the best choice because they're well into their third design iteration (and regardless of where Nikon and Canon end up in their mirrorless races, neither will have as many lenses ready as Sony does now).
Meanwhile, for a family guy looking to fill the internet with a zillion pics of his kids, an APSC camera with a kit zoom lens (Nikon or Canon) is still going to be the best bang for his buck.
Prove ME wrong ;- )
