Nice review.  As for the DR being 1 stop worse than the 80D, looking at Bill Claff's PDR curves, the DR performance of the 80D and the M5 look to be pretty much the same. I suspect that the small degradation comes from the fact that they are running the sensor all the time.

I bought it as a travel camera given that I didn't want to drag my 5DIII all over Europe. For that purpose the M5 looks to be perfect.

One thing I don't think you mentioned is the relative responsiveness of the camera. Just for fun, I took it to an airshow a few weeks ago and was rather disappointed (although not really surprised) with it's shutter lag and viewfinder blackout time. I would say that if you are a "soccer mom" or a "NasCar Dad" looking for something to do that sort of sports stuff, stick with the DSLR.
