I ask because I found them at about the same price. I don't want the best possible camera, I want a cheap small camera with tilting screen, e-shutter and touch to focus so I can take a photo without being noticed.

For your intended uses, one advantage of the GX9 over the GX80/85 is the 12-bit e-shutter. You may (or may not) also find the tilting viewfinder (in addition to the tilting screen) useful - using it can give you a bit less of the "staring straight at you" look, compared to a traditional viewfinder. The GX7 also has the tilting viewfinder.

In the UK at least, the current difference between the GX80/85 and the GX9 is about £150. I'm not sure whether this puts it outside the amount you're willing to spend.

I've found one selling for about €210. I think I'll get it.
