Ricardo,
I must say so far I ignored the GX9, so started to read and what I find seems very interesting ... seems to be a great little camera - and cheaper than the PenF.
A bit off topic, how do you like your PenF?

The Pen-F has to be maybe the camera I have loved and hated the most. Lovely RAW/JPEG engine. Don't like the speed of response, the AF which is worse than the EM5 MKII (and I am talking in general, do keep in mind I often do shoot at night). C-AF is a complete joke on PenF (not that I use that much).
Olympus to me has a usability problem at this point, but if you use the EVF some of it does not apply. But shooting at night with the LCD - oh man. Vs other brands- you can't tell where the damn AF square is until you pre-AF or focus. If you use the touch-AF square mode, then it's modal-exclusive with the super control panel and doesn't stick once you turn the camera off.
It's a real pity because the metering, highlights, DR, color on the PenF is really good. Best I have seen in m43rds so far personally, but ah well.
In fact, the Pen-F raws are good enough that it cures my Fuji envy (said before getting an X-E3 because hard to envy what you got
). The Fuji's may be still a tad better, but PenF is pretty good files.
So GX9 from the RAWS I examined from dpreview shares the same characteristics in terms of the RAWS. I would pick that over PenF any day.
