Lack of up to date pancakes in M43?

Re: Don't discount the 20mm 1.7 yet...

I’d like to get a pancake zoom to use on my EM5 so I could slip it in my pocket when heading out for a coastal walk where I wouldn’t bother to take a sling bag with me. Occasionally conditions change and I wish I had a camera with me.

Without either part of the battery grip it would fit in a jacket pocket with a pankcake lens on it.

Cant decide between the Olympus 14 -42 or the Panasonic 12-32.

Most of my favourite seascape images I’ve taken are at 24mm equivalent so I’m leaning towards the Panny. But is the Oly a bit thinner?
