Which long range zoom? Oly 45-150 or Pany 45-175?

Hello everyone,

I have been very happy with my OM-D system thus far. I have and use several primes quite a lot and have the 12-50 zoom.

I am looking for a longer range zoom for travel. I am aware of the tasty Panasonic 70-200 equivalent but am looking for something more like the 70-300 that I use with my Canon system. This would imply either the Olympus 45-150 R lens or the Panasonic 45-175 or Panasonic 45-150.

Can someone chime in with their experience any of these lenses, how they compare, and how they determined the tradeoffs of IQ, size, build quality, price?

Thanks in advance for your help.
