I am currently on travel using the EP5 as my second camera backing up an EM1. It has been the best solution I have tried.
Here is a short list of advantages with comparisons to other solutions I have tried.
vs other brands
Same battery
Menus and major control points nearly identical
Access to 0 sec anti-shock
vs EPL5 or EPM2
Better and larger LCD
5 axis IBIS
Higher quality feel and shutter sound
vs EM5 v1
Slimmer form factor with no "prism" hump
I have really enjoyed the EP5. When I want to go light, I can carry it with the 12-32 or 17 1.8. The additional weight vs the smaller Pens is not a problem. It slips easily into a small shoulder bag, the smooth shape making more difference than expected. At times when photography is a focus of the activity, it is not a burden to carry both with the EM1 on a sling with the 12-35 or 35-100 and the EP5 in a bag with 9-18 or fisheye. I switch back and forth seamlessly without the stumbles I often encountered with the EPL5, for example, when I would rotate the mode dial intending to change aperture.
EP5s are readily available on the used market at an attractive price.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
