Would you pay more for 1080p in the M5 that is at least as good as in 80D?

What is better about 80D video?

Bitrate, for one:

So, a higher bitrate means less compression, and therefore higher image quality? Do I have that right?

Unless the newer compression algorithm is eons smarter, that is how I understand it, yes.

So, have you actually verified the "smartness" of the different compression algorithms and what the effect is on "video quality", as implemented by Canon in the M5 and 80D?

Does more compression automatically mean loss of quality, and if so, in which area exactly: details, dynamic range, colors, etc.? From what I read, H.264 is quite a leap in the compression world but it does require higher processing speed, like in Digic 7. Which 80D doesn't have...

You are confusing h.264 with the newer h.265.  Both the M5 and 80D use the virtually ubiquitous h.264.  The only cameras I know of to implement h.265 were the Samsung NX500 and NX1.

Anyway, all seems a bit irrelevant if noone can tell them apart unless when comparing specs. IMO.
