Thanks but a fixed lens camera will limit any future expansion opportunities.

In that case then either the EM5/10, EP5 or the GX7.

I would not bother with the GM1 or EPM2 taking the above list into consideration as your planing on expanding and the GM1 would be a total dead end.

I do not see the GM1 as a dead end at all. Its a very useful niche.

I want one big camera, and and one small camera, and they must share the same lenses, and the same user interface.

The GX1 used to be my small camera, now it is the GM1.

The G5 is my big camera; it will migrate to something better soon, G6, GH4 and GX7 are not exactly what I want so I will wait a bit.

Both cameras share all lenses, all though some lenses are are more practical on one or the other -  to be expected.

Looking at the the GM1 in perspective of the last few years, and having used it for a bit, I think it is destined to become a classic - great images, small package, advanced feature set, well integrated, good connectivity, mature flexible straightforward user interface.
