I "serious" shoot with two bodies. I switched from GX9s to a GX9 and an E-M1 II for the then new Oly 100-400, for
slightly better optics and for the option of a telextender.
i swapped the GX9 for an OM-1. That was the end of the E-M1 II, soon replaced with another OM-1. I could natter on about
reasons, but I did it because I liked the OM-1 so much more. I now shoot with a pair of OM-1 II bodies.
Yeah, I know, money, money. But damn, I like these things.
I could figure the difference between cost (some used) and sale price, is rent.

The e-m1 II would tick better focus and pro capture, and the 20 Mp sensor
as well. Pricewise hard to beat, and I always liked it ergonomics. The
extra weight is partly compensated by that, for me, and handling the 12-100
is probably better compared to a 5 series body. Enough supply as well (at
least here in Europe).
That said, my impression (no systematic testing yet) is that the om-1 's
high iso performance is significantly better.
