You do not indicate your country of which E-M1.  If it is the E-M1.1, then I think the cost of your preemptive repairs combined with your purchase price would be very close to the current $899 USA price of the E-M1.2 which does not have any of those problems.

Most E-M1.1 users (including me) never had a problem with the strap lugs.  The rear dial was a problem for many of the cameras, but was probably repaired on many of the available used cameras.

My E-M1.1s shutter was replace at 175,000 activations due to a sticking shutter (repaired under the extended warranty).  I have never had any similar problems with my E-M1.2 (far more use) or the E-M1.3.
