3. The lens mount is uncomfortably tight. I've heard this happens with em-10 but not with epl5. At least nothing seems to be scratched yet.

Compared to your two zooms with plastic mounts, the metal mount 20mm will feel tighter.

I remember thinking my Oly 45mm was pretty tight when I first got it, but maybe I am used to it as it feels the same as my 20mm now.

I have had four M43 cameras to try, EPL1, EPM1, EPL5, and EM5. They all look to me to use the same metal mounting plate on the camera.  Unless they changed the part recently, I believe they should all act the same.
