Am I the only one who perceives a massive IQ advantage for the G1X III over 1-inch models?

I've had a G1X3 for two years and used it extensively side by side with my 5D4 and 24-105 L lens.  Their images compare very favorable.  Yes, a full frame sensor is better.  But this little camera is a 14 oz jewell.  Folks over on the EOS M forum would love a standard zoom with the G1X3' specs.  In my comparisons it beats any other Canon APS-C std zoom lens including the 15-85.

Folks here on the P&S forum poo poo the G1X3 lens because there are tiny sensor cameras with f1.8 lenses.  Its a cultural thing I think.  I've been using G series cameras and Canon DSLRs since the G3 and the 10D and the G1X3 is by far the best G I've ever had.  This is just my opinion and they vary widely.  Most of the poster who actually have one love it.
