Is the LX7 the new XZ-2...?

I couldn't help but think, while I was reading the preview of the new Panasonic DMC-LX7, that the specs list read like a direct XZ-1 upgrade. Did anyone else think the same thing?

It will be interesting to see if Olympus jumps the shark, or keeps the upgrade conservative, like Panny did...
