I'm considering the 2 following options:

1) Replacing my Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 Pro with the Panasonic 35-100 f/2.8 mk2 mostly because of size and weight (for travel).
2) Replacing my Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 Pro + my Olympus 12-40 Pro with the Olympus 12-100 f4 for similar reasons i.e. total weight and size. What are your thoughts and suggestions?
I should mention that I have the PL 100-400 for telephoto purposes.

I have the PL100-400 and will ONLY bring it traveling if I know it will get significant use.

I have the P35-100/2.8 and ALWAYS bring it traveling due to its size and useful focal lengths.

O40-150/2.8 is relatively close in size to the PL100-400.  If I had that for my short tele zoom, I would have to apply the same pre-travel consideration as with the PL100-400 due to the size/weight.

As for switching from the 12-40 + 40-150 to the 12-100...in light of the size/weight of those two lenses, I'd certainly consider it.
