Which would you prefer: GX7 or GX85?

Re: Which would you prefer: GX7 or GX85?

GX7's mechanical shutter goes to 1/8000 vs 1/4000 on GX85.  GX7 has a metal body - not necessarily superior for durability, but it has a substantial feel.  Someone here has commented that although the EVF specs are identical, s/he found the GX7's to be superior - I can't speak to that.

The GX85 certainly has some improvements, but for me personally, not enough to switch from the GX7, and maybe not enough to choose it over the GX7 if I owned neither of them.
