Re: What does $2000 more get me with the RX1 that I don't get with the EPL5?

This isn't a troll. I recently purchased the Oly EPL5 as a travel camera and I am very happy with it following my first trip. It is wonderfully compact, produces fantastic images, takes all the m43 lenses plus many other lenses with an adaptor, etc.
I admit I am intrigued by the SONY RX1 and I looked at it (on paper) before purchasing the EPL5 but for the life of me I can't determine what I would get for that additional $2000. Better bokeh? I concede that but for $2000 I can live with what the the EPL5 delivers.
I am also convinced that, within a year, other manufacturers will produce a "FF" compact along the lines of the RX1 that will probably have interchangeable lenses and will sell for less than half the cost. So it would appear that $2700 is paying the R&D freight on the SONY.
Or am I way wrong?
In what way does your e-pl5 not satisfy you? You seem to hint at wanting better control over depth of field, but remember, even though it's full frame, the RX1 is 35mm. Slap a nice lens like the 75mm 1.8 on your camera, and yours will go toe to toe with the pricier Sony.
E-pl5 plus kit lens $599, add 75mm 1.8 $899 = $1499.
Sony Rx1 = $2799
You could almost buy two of each for the price of one Sony. You're paying extra out the wazoo for the small technology luxury tax.
