What is supposed to be the difference between these two sensors regarding rendering or IQ?

My take from personal experience: GM1 (same sensor as GX7) has similar amounts of noise in low light as E-M5, but the noise is "nicer" looking. And there are as far as I've seen no signs of banding when using the Panasonic 20/1.7 on the GM1.

Both sensors are very good and I wouldn't choose one over the other based on IQ.

The E-M1 uses a different sensor.
