I'd suggest you drop the 20 and go for the 12 or 14 instead.
20 and 25 is too close imo.
Saw this thread and remembered something similar; have just looked through my previous posts for an interesting read on m4/3 trinities

Exactly the same here
hahah same. The new 17mm f1.8 is tempting but may not be wide enough for indoor grp shots. headache lol
I only have the 12-50 and 75/1.8.
The 75's a gem, as good as any pro Nikon lens I've used.
Looking to see how the upcoming 15mm/1.7 and 42.5/1.2 perform.
So my trinity would probably be a 75mm/1.8 (maybe change to the 42.5 in the future), potentially the 15mm/1.7 and if only they'd make a rectilinear prime wider than 12mm. But in the absence of that, I guess the 12mm/2 is the third.

Trinity, meet God.

Personally, the best line up at the moment are as follows :
PL 7-14mm (ZD 7-14mm SHG if one can afford it).
MZD 12-40Pro
PL 35-100X
PL 100-300mm
I don't shoot primes. So I am not sure which are the best. But if I get to choose based on what I have seen, it should be
PL 20mm MkI
Oly 75mm f1.8
ZD 150mm SHG
ZD 300mm SHG

For me ,
It's the : 17/1.8 ,12-40Pro & 7-14 /4
Hoping to add to my list are the: 75/1.8 & 40-150/2.8 Pro.
The Otus looks really bad-ass. Its cost ??

The OTUS, when shot wide open at f1.4, edge sharpness is even sharper than the top end Nikon glass in the center.
That's why this is currently the "god lens".

The holiness doesn't come cheap but since u said it beats even the too end Nikon glass in e center , I'm sure there will be people out there adding this to their collection.
Almost all my friends who are shooting professionally have ordered one. This is like, the ultimate lens to go with those 30+MP cameras. I can imagine pin sharp product shots.
That'd be a dream lens for full-frame shooters for sure I'd imagine. Great sharpness from edge to edge, excellent colour rendition and correction, almost no distortion. If only Zeiss would transfer more of their cine lenses know how to M4/3 as well...I can imagine what a monster that the m4/3 25mm Master Prime equivalent would be like...
