The Panasonic is pretty small and light (360g) so it's a no-brainer to pop in your bag. The Oly has more reach at the expense of greater size and weight. I do like how the Panasonic renders the out-of-focus stuff and will add that getting background blur is more a combination of where you stand and what focal length you use than anything else. Example:

Do check the full-size version and note (i) f5.6! and (ii) people in background are fairly close.
