What I struggled with in deciding to get the G5X over the G1X Mark III was the realization that assuming the same shutter speed a shot like this would have been taken with an ISO about 1 1/3 stops lower with similar noise and detail.

I completely agree and this was my initial point in the comparison review.

I'm sure the differences in the lenses would be a factor but I still couldn't justify the difference in cost. I realize that I'm giving up some dynamic range in certain scenarios like when both cameras would have been shot at base ISO but don't think that would happen often enough to justify the big price difference.

Again agree 100%!

I am going ,possibly, to try out the G5X of my spouse under the same shooting conditions.
