Honestly, I find the Pana image soft on the _right_.  (Look at the small words in the "Legend Auto Sales" sign, for instance.) I'm sure you're trying to give comparable images, but I am wondering whether the focus point is the same in these two images?

I think the suggestion of taking a picture of a flat surface both right-side up and upside down is a good test even if it doesn't match your photo style, as it is a reproducible test of the lens and allows ruling out focus variation and camera concerns.
