I shoot mainly with WA lenses, so the tele performance is not a big
consideration. Also, I was once good with long teles on non stabilized film
cameras, that was just a technique that photographers were expected to
learn. Still at the top of my list. The EP5 is on the bottom, killed off by
the Panny approach to VF.

I would not be content with the results he got, YMMV.
As I just posted, I do a lot of very long tele and macro shooting. And I not
uncommonly magnify further by cropping, as
in the recent post of a hummingbird @ 100%. For that, his results just don't
cut it. For moderate focal lengths and
magnifications, especially for full or moderately cropped frames, it's
likely fine.

I agree there are some compelling advantages for the GX7. Whether they are
sufficient for my needs, I don't yet know. As
you say, side by side comparison these days usually seems to mean buying
both and returning one.
The other camera to consider is the E-P5.
