torn… jump ship?

I have an NX200.  Happy with IQ.  Happy with responsiveness in JPEG.  Unhappy with responsiveness in RAW (miss opportunities).  NX300 would solve this.

Very unhappy that promised 16-50 2.8 has not appeared.

I bought the 200 when they announced the 300, since it gave me "confidence" that they were "serious".  But I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for the 16-50 2.8, so the EM-5 and GX7 are looking really really good to me.  But I'm otherwise happy with NX (I really like my 16/30/45 travel kit).

What to do?  What to do?

Do I really need the fast zoom?  I'm getting pretty good at switching quickly among 16/30/45.  But then I always get dust on the sensor that becomes evident for small aperture landscape shots with the 16mm beyond f/16. (yes, I have the cleaning mode on, but it really needs an air blower).
