Another approach would be to consider a used E-P5.

Bought a mint low use kit with lens and viewfinder off eBay for $600 and sold the viewfinder and 17mm lens for a total of $450 and am extremely happy with the purchase.

Resultant cost = $150 for the E-P5 body

Already have a PL5 with 4 primes and didn't need the lens nor the viewfinder.

The PL5 takes very fine photos but that rear dial is too fiddly and slow for my taste and having the 5 axis ibis and two dedicated parameter dials makes it a much faster and surefooted camera.

Wow, $600 for a mint kit was an excellent price!  I jut checked, and they're going for a lot more than that right now...
