I replied "price" but basically the reason is "because it's too close in both price and features to the 80D I already own." If I didn't have the 80D... well, the price is a bit steep, especially around here (1179€).

You are right, the closeness in price makes it a tougher decision.  I don't own the 80D but I'm struggling with the decision to either go with the 80D for the few added benefits (some weather sealing, fully articulating screen, better battery life) with the trade off of bulk, or wait until the M5 comes down in price and go with the M5. If I had to order something today, I think I'd go with the 80D.
