Keep using your EPL1 lenses, too.

I would hesitate about the 14-42mm mark I lens that I believe was the kit lens for the E-PL1. That lens had the worst shutter shock. While modern cameras now have options for shutter shock, it probably isn't much of a bargin to use that lens.

In terms of the G85, I have one. Note, if you are very comfortable with the Olympus way of doing things, you will need to relearn some things (different menu layout, dialing in exposure compensation occasionally, lenses zoom ring goes in the opposite direction, etc.) with the G85. It isn't completely different, but it is different.

Note, in your later post you mention GX85.  Note, the GX85 and G85 are different cameras.  I only have experience with the G85, not the GX85.
