EPM1, Nikon J1 and Pany GF3

They had all 3 at Best Buy today. The olympus rep was there and let me play with an E-PM1 that was not on the tether. WOW, that thing is fast compared to the E-PL1. Focus and shooting happened so quick I was amazed. The button and menu layout seemed good and I could definitely see myself using it with no problems. Turn on SCP (which I use on my e520 to change settings most of the time anyway!) and you're good to go.
I was also surprised that the Nikon J1 was almost exactly the same size. Their demo model did not turn on, so I didn't get to play with it. Did not like the dial on the back and the buttons seemed in odd places.
The GF3 was also nice, but with the standard 14-42 is deeper than the E-PM1.
I think an E-PM1 is in my future and I'm looking for a good deal on it and hopefully a 40-150 lens and I'll have a decent travel kit for when I don't want to lug around the e520, but want a bit more than the XZ-1 gives me.
