Is the E-PL6 the best camera deal at the moment?

Re: Is the E-PL6 the best camera deal at the moment?

For those of us with M43 lenses already, this is a terrific deal.  I bought one and sold the kit lens,  I have neen thrilled with the performance of my E-M10 and had been searching for a smaller, coat pocket camera as a back up.  I bought a used Fuji X10, and while fun to use, had a significant fall off in IQ.  The Sony RX series was compelling, but expensive - same with the Lumix GM1.

I am very happy with the E-PL6.  The IQ is basically as good as my E-M10, so I don't feel I am compromising when I use it.  For daylight shooting I mount the 12-32 on it and a telephoto on the E-M10 and am ready for anything.

An E-PM2 would provide similar IQ, but the E-PL6 has better controls.
