Save up a few weeks more and get a second GX85. Nothing as easy as having exactly the same controls.

Mark -- You're right, I should have put a GX85 body-only on the consideration list -- with a new body at $499 -- I was thinking, well, for a used option to make economic sense it should at least be at significant 20%+ less than new, but yeah one option that would be a swish on the learning curve would be to stretch for another identical body!
Part of the journey here was that I initially focused on GX1 with the idea of making use of my LVF-2 -- and pretty nice examples of those can be had for $200 +/-.  But certainly as I set my sights higher on more expensive GM options I should be comparing to GX85 body (plus there's the 3 year warranty on a new one, and I really like the handling).
