12-40 will be front heavy on m10ii. It's an excellent lens, but rather bulky in mft terms. Do you mind that? I did, generally too much to carry for my purposes...

12-32 is an ok lens, and can be had very cheaply from ebay, just over 100 €. Physically totally different with almost the same zoom range. Unbeatable value/price. So light that it easily goes always with you, just in case.

I would forget buying the rest standard zooms (or save for the superb 12-35?) separately.

Can you see a difference? Compare lenses by searching for photographs by lens:
