I don't know if I need a push, or need to be talked out of a G9X

You clearly love that MX-1...I know, I have one too.  It's special to look at, hold, use, and it does produce special pictures, regardless of the relatively small sensor.  Pentax/Ricoh has a qualitatively different look from Canon.  It's totally subjective, but I think of the MX-1 more as a creative-use camera.  I wouldn't get rid of it if I were you; you'll miss it.  The G9 X looks like a perfect pocket camera, much more utilitarian.  Sell the old DSLR you aren't using.  You won't get much for it but you'll get something, and it won't be sitting around unused.  It's a good starter camera for someone who doesn't want to make a big initial investment.  Ask your wife for the G9 X for your next birthday and tell her it's so you will never be caught without a good camera ready to capture special family moments (not as a way to connive her; I think it's true).  Life is short; make memories.  Good luck.
