I'm considering letting the Oly go and replacing it with a Panasonic 14-45mm f3.5-5.6.

Why, because the 12-40 is just TOOOO BIG AND HEAVY.

I don't really need f2.8.

I've had the the Panny 14-45 before, years ago, beautiful little lens.

'Little'...isn't that what M4/3 is supposed to be all about?

If you think the 12-40mm is too large or heavy for what you want to carry around, I would get the 12-32mm. I have the 14-45mm.. And it's a great lens but if you want small, the 12-32 is way smaller and lighter while optically is also a pretty good lens. It may not be optically better than the 14-45mm but I would think it's also not that much different and probably wouldn't notice the difference in the real world (unless you pixel peep all the time).
