Olympus epl2 vs. Panasonic GF2

I used to own the Panasonic GF1 but I sold it because I didn't think I was getting much use out of it.  Now that I don't have it, I miss it and am considering getting a new one.  The question I have now is...epl 2 or GF2???  I've never owned an Olympus camera so I've been reading some reviews on the camera.  They seem to have a pretty good reputation but the one down side of the camera is that it doesn't come with the pancake lens.

The Panasonic GF2 comes with the option of getting the camera with either the pancake lens or the zoom lens.  I of course want the pancake lens.  I also like the feature of the special shooting modes that the epl 2 offers.  

On the other hand, I've previously owned a Panasonic camera and I know the quality of the pictures.  I loved the way the GF1 worked but I have not tried out the GF2.  I personally don't care for the new touch screen features that these cameras are coming out with.  I prefer a camera that has extra features and takes a lot of frames per second.  I do think the design of the GF2 is a bit more sleek looking and it looks less bulky than the epl 2.
