I have had the 35-100 f2.8 and now I have the 40-150 pro. I bought the oly for its extra reach.

They are different lenses, both are great but I prefer the output of the Panasonic.

In my opinion the Olympus renders too harshly, it gives the "wow" effect at first sight but the tonal transitions on the Panny are better.

I also confirm that the Panasonic has smoother out of focus, it's way smaller and lighter.

On the other hand the Oly is faster and accurate on focus and less vignetting at TA.
