Oly EM5ii & 40-150 Pro...question about IQ?

I am looking for some user insight as to how this new lens performs when the zoom is maxed out.  If I understand correctly, Oly's has standard magnification that's is two times greater than FF - so 100mm on an Oly is 200mm.  A selling feature of the EM5ii is the addition of an internal 2x tele, so the 200mm can become 400mm on command.  Wow!  That would solve lots of long range needs.  Question is, at what expense to IQ?

So, if I had the 40-150 f2.8 Pro lens and maxed zoom, I would be at 600mm f11.  Tele's are known to degrade IQ and affect focus.  I would expect the same here, but you know what happens when you assume things.  : )  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
