Yes.  There has been a sizable improvement in the sensor since the G3.  The GX7 is an excellent camera and from all reports, so is the G6.  I have the GM5, GX7 and GH4 and believe that they all deliver the IQ that a I expect, that is, excellent.  You may want to take a look at the upgrade of the 14-42 since it is markedly better than the original.  The 45-200 is an okay lens, but there are others which are sharper at both ends.  Yes, you should upgrade and I believe that you will  notice a marked difference in the images that your camera produces.  The new bodies can produce JPEGs which are excellent.  Of course you have the RAW option too.
