Decision: GX9 vs Pen F ?

Hi guys,

I'm new here and hoping for some advice. I am ready to enter the MFT system with either the Panasonic GX9 or the Olympus Pen F.

I shoot mostly street and travel photography. I shoot lots of architecture and some landscapes. I prefer wide angles. I occasionally want to shoot birds in flight. Mostly, I make minimalist, colorful compositions.

I've been using my iPhone for a couple years after ditching my Canon 5D (and Contax G2) in New York, from where I received an MFA in photography and video.

Both of these cameras offer me:
- compact, fun street/travel packages with small lenses
- terrific stabilization
- 20mp MFT sensor

Reasons for the GX9:
- Great minimalist feel
- Tilting screen and EVF (which doesn't bother me at all) for quick framing
- Clear controls and menu operation
- 4K video for moving images (not videography, but silent cinematography)
- cheaper price

Reasons for the Pen F
- Super stylish
- Olympus feature of keystone correction, since I shoot a lot of architecture
- 50 Mp high resolution mode (for buildings, though I know it's a bit dodgy)

Both of these cameras have bad press. Neither have weather sealing, which is too bad. I know neither will be great for birds in flight, since they're not action cameras. I tried out a Sony a6500 and was super disappointed. I don't want a Sony, and those lenses are too big.

I've been leaning toward the GX9 because it does speak to me. No one seems to sing its praises, though, and it seems like Panasonic in general is not well regarded. I can't figure out why - all the reviewers complain about the EVF, but that's it. Everyone loves the earlier model, the GX7 mark II ( GX85 ), but no one gushes about the GX9. Am I missing something? 
The Pen F is also mocked for being too much style over substance, but seems highly regarded as a lovely, fun object nonetheless. Do you agree? How bad is the auto-focus? No reviewer talks about the keystone feature. I'm curious if it works well. Any experiences out there?

The point is to get out and take pictures, so I'm wondering if the Pen F will encourage me to use my iPhone less or not. None of my local stores carry it, so I haven't been able to try it out.

All thoughts appreciated!
