I have the EM10 (the original) and it's fantastic. If you want to maximize your budget, get that instead of the MkII. You could then get the kit zoom and a prime like the ones you mentioned.

I would stretch the budget for the Mark ll and have the improved 5 axis IBIS instead of the 3 axis IBIS in the original E-M10. The Mark ll also has an improved EVF, touchscreen focusing, focus bracketing and a silent electronic shutter.

When I bought the original, I had the same choice you mentioned, i.e., stretch the budget for the MkII. I didn't, and I have no regrets. OP might feel differently of course, but I would argue that lenses are more important than bells-and-whistles on the body.
