macro options

I do all my photography on the X100V at present and the only restriction that I miss is a macro lens. So, I'm thinking of buying a camera and single macro lens just for this purpose. I like to shoot handheld and so would prefer ibis or ois in the lens.

I was considering the following possible options:-

1. Fuji X-T2 with 80mm macro (both used)

2. Olympus OM-DEMO II with 60mm macro (both. used)

The fuji has 24mb v 16mb on the Olympus.

Has anyone used both of these and could comment on the benefits/disadvantages of both? Obviously there is a difference in cost and the fuji option is much larger and heavier.

I would only be photographing flowers, plants etc no insects or anything moving.

Thanks

Fujifilm X-T2
