The mirrorless is a huge jump, especially in sports, autofocus on fast-moving subjects, and low light. You would need to pair the new camera with some good glass to really take advantage of the camera upgrade.

From a technical perspective, phase detect autofocus in DSLR's is vastly superior to the contrast detect AF used in mirrorless cameras when it comes fast moving subjects. The problem is, since there is no mirror, you can't split the light beams in a mirrorless cam. Now contrast detect AF has come a long way since it were first introduced, but since contrast detect is predictive, it will always be slower. But autofocus isn't the reason to go mirrorless. Size and convivence are.
