It's an age old problem, how much quality is good enough? If you like the convenience of the FZ1000 but find it too large sometimes, maybe what you need is something like the LX100 to carry when the range isn't needed. As far as the 14-140 vs 14-150, most comparisons show they're pretty close in quality although both have been updated in the last year or so and may be somewhat better than the old models.

If you don't need the tele range, you may be happy with one of the shorter zooms such as the 12-32 lens or the 14-42 II Panny, both good kit lenses, or go pro with the12-35 2.8 Panny or 12-40 2.8 Oly.

Good luck!

Yeah, I love that LX100 but I honestly find myself repeatedly using the long reach of 200mm or more. So shorter lenses won't cut it. I have the E-M5  with primes right now and it's not going anywhere. I love that thing too much.
