Second hand 20MP body?

I've got a GX7 which I love but it's starting to feel old, slow and unloved.

I've been looking at getting a second-hand body with a 20MP sensor, improved IBIS and speed over the GX7.

I'm not interested in video.

Given my budget, It seems the only options I have are the GX8, PEN-F or GX9?

I'm tempted by the Olympus since it has LiveBulb, LiveTime and LiveComp.

Prices on ebay (UK) are:

PEN-F £470 to £520

GX9 £360 or £450 new

GX8 £350 to £400

Thoughts....?

My GX7 is still loved but I also gravitate toward the Pen because it has FAS and hires mode in addition to all the live coolness.
