So now, I came down to two choices that are currently $399:

1) Oly EPL6 16MP with 2 kit lens 14-42, 40-150mm NEW.

2) Refurbished Nikon D3200 24MP with 2 kit lens (similar zoom range equiv).

I am contemplating to suggest #1 to a family member given that IQ is similar given 16MP vs 24MP is awash when looked on a 2MP monitor.

Is there a different m43 camera, maybe from Panny, in the price range I should consider?

Or can there be a better APSC deal I am not aware of?

Reason why I could recommend D3200 over E-PL6 is because E-PL6 doesn't have the viewfinder and it costs extra $120-200€ to get VF-4 for it.

But if considering that the VF-4 is bought later, I would not recommend D3200 at all.
