Anything I missed? Any comments? Thanks!

I can really undestand your annoyances with your E-M5 since I feel the same with mine. The most disturbing issue is the mode dial with its bad contacts (sometimes my E-M5 switches between modes without being touched). Also, it was a pain to use it with cold fingers (don't think of using gloves).

For me the solution was the upgrade to the E-M1. But I have to admit that I will keep my E-M5 (I am planning to get the mode dial repaired). I could not imagine to use two widely similar cameras with different batteries and chargers (not an issue for you if you get rid of your E-M5).

The E-M1 is not that larger or heavier than the E-M5. With a prime attached, it fits in the same bag as the E-M5 does (a very small bag, indeed). The only downside I noticed so far is the slightly louder shutter, may be an issue for the type of event photography I do.
