Weirdly Panasonic menus are a bit clinical but I find them way better than Olympus and also easier to use than Sony.
Older gen Olympuses did seem a bit compromised, style over substance.You're right that the Sony A series are really compact these days, though lens sizes and volume, as well as small prime lens choices are much better in M43.

Though I made big efforts to love them, I really hated the menu, screen, and image quality from Olympus Pen cameras. I hated them almost as much as I hate Panasonic. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I doubt it.
Plus, the size difference is so minimal to the smallest Sony Alpha/Nex that I’d sooner get APSC over M43.
You need to do the thing, go somewhere and handle each one.
I took weeks of visits to various shops back 3 1/2 years ago before I bought the A6000. Must have handled every option from Canon to Olympus, Fuji and even... Nikon. Still came back to Sony, still don’t regret it.
