Thanks! And yeah, compact cameras are nuts in price these days. The GM5 launched in 2014 at $900 with a kit lens. Today you can buy a body without a lens for $900-1,000 at MPB.
Honestly, my a9ii with the cheap/compact 50mm f/1.8 is pretty compact and I don't mind carrying it. I just didn't think to grab it for practice. For the older one, this was probably a good choice. For the younger one, I made a mistake. The kids where hallarious.
