This seems to be a very good deal. Why is this camera always being sold so cheap? What would be the difference between the e-pl6 and, for example, an e-m5? Is the difference huge?

It is a very slightly updated version of the E-PL5. It was originally released only in Asia and then released in the US late last summer (IIRC). It doesn't appear to have been enough of an upgrade to attract people who have a PL5 (it isn't for me) and now that the E-PL7 has been released it's sort of an orphan being sold off at discount prices.

Karl--you can find the PL6 at the US Olympus Refurb site. They have the camera with 14-42 for $239, and you could add the 40-150 for another $99 or so.
