I found using the GH2 and the Oly together horrible. GH2 now in drawer (should ebay it really).
Two cameras with different interfaces is a nightmare, and in my opinion that goes for two similar models as well.

Trying to use the two brands side-by-side would be a real mess for me. Two interfaces, two processing work-flows. Seems like a recipe for missed photos and wasted time.

If it were me I'd get two OM-D and get used to the new interface. Since you seem to like Panasonic though, it gets harder. The GH3 is big, so two of those leaves a gap for a small camera, and the G5 is not the last word in IQ, so again if you buy two you have a gap!
Good luck!

If you plan to use Olympus lenses then I'd go with their bodies for the in-body stabilization. Based on what you wrote, consider the OM-D with grip and whichever PEN is closest in image quality, possibly adding a finder to the PEN. If you can get two bodies that use the same battery that can be a big plus.

(Just for the record, I use and prefer Panasonic  but have no problem recommending Olympus when it sounds right.)
