Thanks to everyone who replied. I actually got both of them because I got a couple of screaming good deals:

I paid $185 for my E-P5, and I paid $150 for my E-PL7, which is the same that I was able to sell my very low use E-PL5 for.

So far, I prefer the ergonomics of the E-PL7, but the feature set and battery compatibility of the E-P5. Stay tuned for a final decision. I've been under the weather, so I haven't had a chance to seriously shoot with either one,

The photo student whom I was going to give my E-PL5 will now be getting whichever of these I don't keep. When I realized I could get the E-PL7 for so little, I just bought it and put my E-PL5 up for sale, and got the same money for it as I paid for the E-PL7

Very nice! Don't tell me where to get an E-P5 for that price, after an E-PM2, E-M1 (with grip), and E-M5ii, I don't need another body lying around...

I got it on ebay from a seller who made the mistake of ending an auction that had a low starting bid  on a  Saturday night
