I think you summarized the differences quite well, but I went for the E-PL7 because of the anti-shutter-shock mode and the availability of an underwater housing by Olympus. From my understanding the E-PL7 is a little more updated regarding the software, but the E-P5 has clear advantages on control (buttons).

So, you have to decide what is more important to you.

Hope that helps,

E-P5 has anti-shock built into a firmware upgrade.  It was so significant an improvement in the camera that DPReview amended their review of the camera because of it.   And frankly, without that firmware upgrade, I would have discounted the E-P5.
