Re: Olympus 40-150 f2.8 vs. Olympus 35-100 f2, worth the switch to m4/3?

For those of you who have the Olympus 35-100 f2.0 and made the switch to the 40-150 f2.8, have you liked it?  Do you feel there is a decrease in image quality?

My 35-100 f2.0 has been a workhorse making plenty of profitable images, but the temptation to lighten my load is there.

take the ZD 35-100 on the EM-1
that lens is outperforming the new 2.8/40-150, esp in lower light conditions.
the new lens is very nice, but the elder 2.0/35-100 is still top when used on the EM-1..
just my thinking: don't sell the 2.0, get the 40+150 anyway, ist's relatively cheap to the 35-100 and then u have the choice
that's my choice I did..
