how much bigger is the gx8 evf compared the the em1?

I am looking at the gx8 and em5 mark II. Currently I shoot on a gx7 with the evf set to 4:3

I know the gx7 magnification is 0.7x and the em5 mark 2 is 0.74, while the gx8 is 0.77x

How big of a difference is this really? I know in 4:3 the gx7 one is smaller than 0.7x  can anyone that understands the sizes and how they relate to eachother tell how much extra surface are there really is between these evfs? It matters to me as I only use manual lenses and while I do fine on my gx7 a bigger evf would make life easier. Better yet is if anyone is willing to make an evf size diagram like the m43, apsc, ff diagram shpwing relative sensor sizes.
