The 14mm is a tiny, fast-focusing albeit optically average lens.

The 20mm is a good optical performer, but it has banding issues at high ISOs on some Olympus bodies and its noisy and slow to focus. C-AF is useless with it.

That's it!  If you an instinctive prefocusser with an EM1 and don't mind a bit of noise from the lens, a used P20mm is one hell of a lens for the money.
