Purchase of a second body: recommandation needed

Hello,

I have owned (and loved) my Olympus OM-D E-M5 since 2013. It is still in an excellent condition, but now I want a second body. I am not a professional photographer, only a so-called "enthusiast" photographer: street photography, family photos, portraits, travel photography and lately also I started to take photos of the projects that my daughter, an interior designer, is working on.

I was considering the OM-D E-M5 Mark II, but it costs a bit too much for my budget, so I am considering the OM-D E-M10 Mark III. I could make a big effort and go for a OM-D E-M5 Mark II but I am not sure that I need many of the E-M5 II cool features like the possibility to add a battery grip, weather sealing, focus stacking, etc.

For my needs that I have described, which between these two do you think I would better off ?

By the way, does the viewfinder eyecup of newer OM-D E-M also easily fall off? This problem started about a year after I bought the OM-D E-M5. One day I took the camera out of its pouch and I could not find the eyecup. Since then I had several new eyecups and at a certain point, they also fell off.

Thank you very much.
