I use the little rubber Sony stick on grip ($14 on Amazon) for the RX100 on both my GM's and the handling is even better. I don't think that kind of grip would work on the EPL models due the slight grip already on them.

The E-P3 and E-PL5 at least had removable grips that can be changed to an optional fatter one. So those ones could accept a stick-on grip on the bare body.

In experimenting with both the grip sizes for the E-PL5 I found that even with the chunky 12-40/2.8 lens that for me it made no difference with A or B grip or even no grip at all. It's all about the left hand holding the weight of camera plus lens and the right hand "attached" via a thin but snug wrist strap.
