Is the EM-1 still a good choice? Or better waiting for an update?

I just read a review on the EM10 MkII and they noted an improvement in high ISO noise.

I take that with a grain of salt. Every six months we see a new camera with SO MUCH LESS HIGH ISO NOISE. Yet somehow, high ISO noise still exists. You'd think by now that we'd be shooting ISO 10000000000 with no noise whatsoever, given the ridiculous claims made by each new camera release.

I bet that 90%+ of people here on this forum couldn't tell the difference between a high ISO shot from the EM10 and the EM10ii. (I haven't done the experiment yet on myself, but I'm betting that I won't be able to see any real difference between GX7 and GX8 shots, for example -- other than the few additional pixels!)
