I haven't owned E-P5 or E-M10iii, but I had E-M1 and E-M10i, and the answer is it depends on what you're going to do with it. Everything I have read seems to point to the E-M10iii as a crippled or dumbed down camera compared to the E-m10ii, really aimed at beginners and cell phone converts. The E-P5 and EM1 are both great cameras that offer the user a ton of control. Other than 4K, not sure what you'd gain

Seriously?  The new Mark III is a "dumbed down" vision of the Mark II?   Considering the annotated improvements in the Mark III's focusing, menu re-alignment and other improvements mentioned by Olympus, I think your analysis is dumbed down.  The E-P5 is a prior generation camera thats not even to specs to the current E-P7.
