E-PL5 a worthy camera all this time later?

My little issue with the EPL5

I don't own the camera, but I am way overdue for an upgrade and I would never consider the EPL5 (and EPL6 for that matter) for this simple reason: it uses the old 2-axis IBIS system.

Does that mean you can't take photos with it? No, of course not. But I have 3 ageing 43/m43 cameras which all use the same system so upgrading cameras without finally upgrading the IBIS system (3/5-axis) would feel like a wasted opportunity. I know the new IBIS system is so much better and there are many challenging conditions where this thing would come in handy.
