I understand perfectly. I am myself very happy of the controls of my e-p1 and 
like the way it handles.

Nonetheless, from a purely economical POV, e-pl2 + 17mm (even if it's a 
disappointing prime optically, it's a more than apt see-through body cap when 
it comes "free") + 14~42 Mk2 + evf makes much more sense than e-p2 + 14~42 mk1 
+ evf alone, considering you'd need to add quite a bit of money to just get 
the 17 and an FL-14 to barely match functions between both (circa 400 € where 
I live, a bit less in the US I believe).

Cheers,
