Got the GF1 + 20mm and took some snaps while driving across the State over the weekend. Stopped by my alma mater and took these pics under low light... The higher res LCD was a HUGE difference for shooting.

Surprisingly the on/off switch also played a factor in the shooting experience. Holding down a button on the E-P1 was much less intuitive and immediate than the slide switch on the GF1.

I did a similar thing. I sold the Pen1 and got a G2.
Then I realized working with the Pen2 and the G2 created an interface headache.
I then picked up a GF1 and now might sell the Pen2.
The GF1 surprised me with it's very intuitive interface.
It does a great job even in very low light.

yeah I don't have an e-p1 anymore but if I were to buy again (read: if panasonic or olympus brought out some fast wide primes) I'd get a gf1 as well... The e-p1/2 only has the illusion of being solidly built unfortunately...
