If you can sell your VF-4 and effectively knock the price down on the E-M10 mkII or GX85, you are probably close on price.

All three are nice cameras with different strengths and weaknesses.

E-P5 is currently 300€ new

Both E-M10 mk2 and GX80 cost about 500-550€ (minus the sale price of the VF-4)

I prefer using an EVF and the placement of the EVF on the rangefinder style cameras doesn't work for me since I use my left eye.

If I were to have only one camera of the three, it would be the E-M10 MkII since it can take a grip and balance better with my larger lenses. If you don't need that feature and price is important, I'd probably go with a quality used E-P5.
