But if I am in your shoes, I shall consider 2 things.

1st, according to Photonstophotos, it seems that except the flagship NX1, the higher ISO DR (something we look at for low lighting?) of NXs are not really much better than GX7 (vs NX1000). As a matter of fact, the APSC size sensor used by Samsung, to the best, will have around <1 stop advantage over M43, and is in theory only. Compare to Canon, it is not surprised to find some of their APSC cameras have similar performance as M43. Sadly there is no specific data on NX300.

2nd, Samsung ceased camera business for sometimes already. Would it be advisable to use it unless it is an one off purchase like a fixed lens compact (I.e., upgrade = replace camera and lens).

My 2 cents.

According to dxo NX500 IQ is a little bit better than NX1. But there are other things to consider. Got it cheap and amazed by the quality. Don't know what a Panasonic to match it will cost. Now got a new NX20 for $150, because of the EVF, it's OK in daylight. And got the very good 45mm. I know all about what happened to Samsung. And because of it, more and more NX to be found at a sinking price level. Some of it good enough for my use. And some will last for a long time. Did not buy the 85mm for $400, maybe for 300.
