If you look at DPRs reviews of the RX10 that f/2.8 is actually the equivalent of f/7.6 when it hits the sensor, while the DPR review of the 14-150 is a healthier f/5.6 at 150 mm. I DO wish though the comparisons could be made in a more consistent manner, I'm not fully comfortable with my explanation and logic, but I think it, and the reviews, do support my position as a "Maybe/Maybe not" response.

The Sony is an equivalent f/7.6 at all focal lengths, while at minimum focal length for the 14-150 is an f/4.0. The effective f/stop on the Olympus cameras aren't going to be all that different from the Sony because of the larger sensor. (And this doesn't even factor in the superior IQ of a larger sensor

The Sony RX10 is "equivalent " to a 7.56 on FF however  the Olympus 14-150 is an F8- 11.2 or if you prefer the RX10 throughout its range is "equivalent " to an F3.7 on mFT.
