selling 14-150 to raise funds for a 25mm 1.4?

Interested in thoughts and opinions...
Currently, I have my Oly 14-150m listed for sale. I do like this lens and I have had some keepers from it but I am really eager to get my hands on the Panasonic 25mm 1.4. I believe this focal length would suit 75% of my shots despite never actually using it and I could foresee it living on my EP3 most of the time. A lot of my shots are low light, family, kids and people and I do find the 14-150 a bit poor in low light. I also have the 45mm which I love but it can be a bit long at times (particularly indoors) but I do appreciate the quality of the resulting images make it more than worth while persevering with.
I previously had the 20mm 1.7, but found it a bit short and a quite slow despite the pleasing IQ! My wee fella would often get frustrated with me being so close and AF could mean I miss the shot. It essentially lived on my wife's GF3 most of the time but we eneded up trading both in pursuit of the RX100 which I now have.
So, If I sell the 14-150, this would leave me with only the 25 and 45 primes at present on my EP3 plus of course the Sony Rx100 for more casual everyday use. I suspect the 25mm would get more use and produce more keepers in the long run than the 14-150 does for me at present but unfortunately, I can only afford the 25 if I sacrifice the lens leaving me without a zoom or anything less than 25m. Is this a mistake?
So what do you think?
