I'am very happy with my G85. The maximum size print I do is 12 x 10 (Inches) but mainly prints four photo albums., I even considerd a G7 as the price in Australia is very good. I would have my lumix 12-602 on one camera and the Olympus 14-150 on the other, savves changing lenses and also gives me a backup camera. I like the grips on the pany cameras far better than the Olympus (even with accessory grip)

I'am in my late 70's so IBIS would be useful in both bodies but is it necessary with the 12-60

Yes, with the G85 you get the benefit of dual-IS2 with the 12-60 lens. This is a big improvement over the G7.

In addition, the G85 has no AA filter which is another difference over the G7.

Having two identical bodies would be helpful in terms of familiarity with controls/menus so I think the G85 is the way to go. There are very good prices for the G85 available at the moment.
