NX20 buffer - response question

I have a NX10 and loved it, now it's showing age. I got a NX1000 since it's cheap and I have some NX lenses. Image quality is improved and I'm generally quite happy with it. But I need a VF, so I'm looking at the NX20 which is getting into a decent price range now as well. (My family will recycle the NX1000)

The one thing I don't like about the NX10 and NX1000 is the blocking time while the buffer is flushed. I always shoot RAW+JPG. It's very annoying not to be able to change settings (like ISO) while the buffer is flushed. Or even take more photos while the buffer is already partly flushed. That gives a ~25s black out time after taking ~8 shoots. Or even if I just take 3 photos in a row, you have to wait until the buffer is flushed before you can take another photo.

I tried the NEX6 and it was much more responsive. It allows taking photos while the buffer is flushed (obviously only until the buffer is full again). However, it makes a big difference for me.

How does the NX20 behaves? Like the NX1000?
