If you doubt about what lens is better among the 14-42 II R and EZ, let me tell you what I found. This is a compilation of all the info that I found online. I'm no expert. This may save you some time.
The only advantage of the EZ is the small size, period. It seems it depends on your specific unit how well it performs. At best you can get the same results as with the IIR. At worst people seem to experience vignette and/or a little bit of lack of sharpness on the edges. It seems a mixed opinion. In any case, no one claimed to obtain better picture quality with the EZ.
The electronic zoom on the EZ seems to be slow and significantly less easy to operate due to the electronic control. A noticeable amount of users reported issues with the electronics that required servicing the lens giving the impression that it's less robust than the manual IIR.
On the other hand, the IIR seems to be better at everything other than the size. Regarding this, the difference is only 25 mm in length more than the EZ which isn't a big deal.
I think the IIR is the one to go. I reckon the only case in which the size can make a difference is if you wear a big jacket because you can fit the camera with the EZ and not with the IIR. However wearing any other clothes you're going to need a bag or something else anyway. Even if it fits your clothes, will you carry it like that?
