Will I even notice the difference between 15mm PL F1.7 and Olympus 17mm F1.8?

My not entirely reliable brain is telling me that I NEED to buy an Olympus 17mm F1.8 lens as my PanaLeica 15mm F1.7 isn't "a true 35mm FF equivalent lens".

While I understand that this is technically correct, as a G7 user capturing OOC JPGs, am I:

1. Not going to see enough difference between the 2 FLs considering both lenses are excellent?

2. Going to be very upset that I don't get a snazzy lens hood free with the Olympus lens?

3. Still manage to take very average photographs at both FLs?

4. All of the above?
