If you shoot a lot of manual lens stuff on the fly, you'll notice and appreciate the GX7 is better. If all you do is use the finder to compose, it probably won't matter. If you can use the magnifying feature most of the time, either camera is fine.

Same specs - what did you find different when using them? In what way was the GX7 EVF better?

It would be possible if the EVF optics (the diopter and lens) are different. We already know from the specs and media reporting that the display panel is the same.

However, there is zero evidence there is any difference in the optics between the GX7, GX85, and GX9 EVF. There are some differences in eye sensor placement, and the eyecup, but I don't think any difference in optics.

The magnification (0.7x), eyepoint (17.5mm), diopter range (-4 to +3) are exactly the same between the three cameras.
