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

I was considering the G1Xiii and the G7Xii at the same time. It was a hard decision because I really loved the G1X ergonomics and the idea of the 1" sensor. I had it to test for a week, and it seemed good but not mind blowing, especially considering the price differences. I liked that it had a viewfinder....I really didn't want another camera without one. The image IQ was good, but still, the APSC advantage wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be.

However, there's a comparison article here on DPR that kind of changed my mind and tilted me towards the G7Xii. I actually liked what I saw from the G7Xii slightly more, and I was also wanting the f1.8 and 100mm at the long end more than I wanted the viewfinder.

I had wanted a small camera that I could use indoors in darker environments such as old building, museums, churches for an upcoming vacation.  I figured the faster G7Xii lens would perform better, and I was fairly pleased with it.  I'm not sure the G1Xiii would have done as well in that regard.

Here's the article if you haven't seen it:
