That could be fun :-)

In any case, the smaller the sensor the poorer the quality when enlarged.

BUT, and a big but, the smaller the sensor, the deeper the DoF will be - 
think full frame vs APS-C vs MFT vs 2/3?? and so on.

And even if I doubt that you can then compare apples and oranges, and as I 
said above, the experiment is worthwhile IMHO.
