both are almost the same body size with tilting screen, big difference is the sensor and the amount of lens that both company provides...
so here the my opinion goes, i will recommend to go for the bigger sensor which in this case is the Sony, which theoretically will perform better DOF control and iso performance, and Sony is super-smart to merge a APS-C into such a small size, comparable to GF6, so why not get a bigger sensor? and the grip on the Sony is far more better than the tiny grip on gf6 if you have a bigger hand

on the other hand, both company provide lens adapter such as OM lens to M43, so you can fully utilize the full frame OM lens; many third party provide vast range of adapter for Sony, such as M39 M42 lens adapter to Sony, go and Google about it if you interesting to mount legendary lens such as the Helios 58mm F2. interesting that you can find almost every lens adapter for Sony

if you want compact, then pick the GF6 with the 14-42mm X lens which is more pocketable than the 5R. As 5R is a APS-C camera, so the lens has to be in bigger size when compared to GF6 ones. it might be a little awkward when pick up the 5r with the big 18-55mm lens

i might little bias toward sony as it has larger sensor and technically it sound better. previously i owned a Lumix GF3 and i kinda struggle when AF night time and ISO performance give me headache, but i never forget how small it fit in my hand. now is GF6, number has grow in a fold and ISO is not really a big deal then. in the end you need to try out and hands on both, see which camera feel you like, if the camera grip is not nice, you would not want to pick up to shoot so often. cheers!

some shot from my old GF3, also can bokeh ma with the kit lens

sony stuff has a special attraction makes you just wanna buy it, just like love in first sight, it happens to me when the NEX C3 came out, i was like omg, how come this camera is so small!

panasonic is the other hand worked very hard to extend its market, extend to younger shooter but i feel somehow still shadowed below olympus...but if you take GF6, i rather recommend GX1, is a older model but somehow it live up to its expectation and smaller in size

Bro. If you regret like this you never end up regretting la. Explore you 5r rather than thinking what lack of from picking the 5t...1899 single lens Kit?
