Guess I'll never know the value of a viewfinder till I try, right? Thanks for mentioning the option of keeping both—I still love my E-PM2. I might try keeping the 20mm or a kit zoom around it.

For me, one of the biggest attractions of the M43 format is the ability to have a system that covers so many shooting circumstances. A larger camera and lens when it is appropriate or the E-PM2 with 20mm in your pocket when that is appropriate. You won't get much for your E-PM2, certainly less than it would cost to buy a good compact camera. Combined with the 20mm or 14-42 ez and you have a jacket pocket camera that takes images as nice as your larger camera.
