Almost decided: 90% it's for the GX1 for the sensor and the available darkness shooting, I'm just waiting for it to become available where I live.
My 20/1.7 will be ready when it arrives.

This leaves me with this choice for new lens:

- The dynamic duo: Olympus 45/1.8 + Samyang 7.5/3.5
- The monster: PanaLeica 25/1.4

Is the Leica so much better than the 20mm pancake, or I'll be happier with three happy lenses in my bag?

I would have chosen the choice with three lenses. Both Olympus 45mm and Samyang 7.5 gets really good reviews.

Look for example at http://www.lenstip.com

I don't know if this makes your decision easier, 'cause I don't have any experience from the Panasonic lenses and then can't say something about them. But you'll have a bigger spectra with three lenses instead of one.

That's my opinion

Best wishes that you decide one alternative and it will work out well for you

The leica is not that much better than the pancake, if you already have the 20mm then the better choice is the 45 when you want a bit of reach and the fish for the ultra panoramic.

45... and can I have the 9-18 instead of the 7.5?
that is too limiting to me...
