Best IS setting for E-M5 & 12-32?

The 12-32 works amazingly well on an EM5 and EM1. At f/4 I could barely tell it from the 12-40 at the wider end. Even at 100% crop it really holds up to the corners. MUCH sharper than my 9-18 in the overlap range. It did have a little PF (12-40 is auto corrected) but it came out nicely using the LR5 tool.

I have started carrying the 12-32 on my E-M5 to make it more pocketable, but I am not sure if I should turn IS off (which means both IBIS and OIS I believe), or leave it at IS-1 and let the two systems sort it out. I guess I will need to test it.

What have others found? Is dual IS better or worse than no IS? Does it depend on conditions? btw, I have switched to 1/4s anti-shock after seeing SS at 1/8s and 1/125s exposures. Not sure if this made worse by having two IS systems working at once.
