NX + 20-50mm vs EX1/TL500

Last week I bought a slightly used NX200 body without a lens.

I already have the NX10 and NX100 with the 20mm and 20mm pancakes and the 20-50mm kit zoom. I also have the EX1/TL500.

I want to sell the NX100 now and keep the rest. I noticed that a used camera sells a lot easier with a lens. Selling the NX100 as 'body only' is pretty hard it seems.

right now I'm considering selling the NX100 together with the 20-50mm zoom lens to offer a complete package. This would leave me without a standard zoom lens for my NX kit.

I really like the EX1/TL500 as my 'take anywhere' camera. It's a great camera for general shooting. My NX cameras really shine with the pancake prime lenses in my hands, the results with the 20-50mm zoom lens are a little less to my satisfaction I notice. I have the feeling that my EX1 mostly takes better pictures than my NX + kit zoom.

The question is: Is it wise to sell of my NX100 together with the 20-50mm and stick to a NX 'prime lens only' system while keeping my EX1 for general shooting?
