I've never seen the benefit of matching a larger camera to larger lenses. Personally I much prefer using lenses like the 100-400 and 200mm f/2.8 on my GX9.

For me the G9 is a rather clunky, awkward, and uncomfortable camera, and that's made worse by large lenses. If I carry both bodies then I'll usually have a wide angle or macro on the G9 and a larger telephoto on the GX9.
