If it were my money, no way.

Please take no offense, but appears to me, you're all over the map with your decision making process and justification for acquiring another camera to replace your NEX-5R.

Is it just a case of chronic G.A.S.? Is it change for no good reason, except to try a newer camera?

Are you willing to downgrade IQ to MFT /RX100 from APS-C? Ok with losing money in trade or selling your NEX gear?

Better to go out and take more pictures with what you already own.

Good luck whatever you decide.

I admit, it is a bit of trying a new camera. And if I would go to GM1, I would sell all my NEX gear.

You indirectly answered one of my main question: is GM1 with 20mm on par with NEX-5R+SEL35F18 in low light? What I read above, answer is no.

Actually nobody here suggests a switch from NEX to GM1. And this is a Micro Four Thirds forum... so decision is clear for me now
