I kind of got hooked on the streamlined rangefinder style. And I wish the GX8 grip felt as nice as the GX7, only was beefier. Can't have everything.

I'm hoping that Panasonic might treat us to a GX9 which features the GX7-style ergonomics (and tilt screen), plus the GX8 EVF!

The recent choice of tilt screen for a GX85 suggests that Panasonic has decided that a tilt screen is a good match for the "streamlined rangefinder" style.

Maybe. Flagship bodies, like the GX8 tend to get the more flexible and functional fully articulated screens. I shoot a lot of vertical (portrait) shots and when I use the LCD, FULL-motion screen helps tremendously.
