FWIW, one of my favorite features of the Pen-F (which is only shared on MFT by more expensive bodies) is that it has 4 custom settings on the mode dial. I would find it difficult to get by without that feature, which is why I own two Pen-Fs (one black, one silver). I find it to be a very enjoyable camera to shoot with, as long as you're not shooting fast action or using large lenses. I think it's a much more capable camera than is given credit.

If GX9 has the same design of GX85, it should have 3 Custom modes (GX7 has 5)...

Custom settings on the mode dial: the Pen-F has 4, I don't see any on the GX9. Almost every camera has custom modes, but I'm referring to how they are selected.

Does it be only major reason to pick Pen-F?

A much better EVF is another; that matters to some more than others.
