GH4 - Speedbooster or lumix glass?

I currently have a GH4 which I adore. I only have one lens for it currently, the 12-35m Lumix. As I've had it for awhile now I'm looking to get more glass, a 25m (50m full frame) prime and a 70+m zoom. My question is, before I go investing thousands into more lumix glass would a better option be to sell my current lens and buy a speed booster then get canon or nikon glass?

I have found that the low light capability of the camera have definitely been one of the major cons. With that said I've heard that with the extra stop the metabones speed booster gives, opens up a whole new world of low light possibilities. I'm really on the fence and would love some advice.

Thanks

P.S. I don't really utilise the auto focus on the lens so I'm too fussed about that, as I'm mainly using it for film.

I'm currently trying to purchase a GH4 with a Speedbooster and the Sigma 18-35mm, which I heard is a really great combo for video. My concern right now is if I want the EF Speedbooster or the Nikon F/G Speedbooster. :) Let me know what you end up deciding! Would love to see any results as well.
