i'm still not quite sure I understand the advantage of the gx-1 over the em-5 ? I guess $400 ($250 if you want a viewfinder) and perhaps the some might feel the lack of IBS simplifies the camera; anything else ?

The price difference is significant, and indeed, the question remains on reliability and longevity of the IBIS. At least with lenses one could always use another one if IS breaks down, with a body it could mean no lens is usable anymore.
Kind regards, Wim
