Re: E-PL6 vs E-P5

I think the EP5 is a much better camera and that you should stick with it. I had the EPL5 (which is not much different from the EPL6) and I found the EP5 to be a big step up. In addition to the factors you mention, the twin dial controls are superior to the fiddly back wheel, the LCD is higher resolution and with the  latest firmware you have access to the essential electronic first curtain "zero second" anti-shock shutter.

So do what you need to do with regard to a lens, but keep the EP5. You may also hear from forum guru, Guy Parsons, who I believe has happily transitioned from a pair of EPL5s to a pair of EP5s.
