Let's say I get it via street pricing, can I get the customised leather jacket done via Olympus service centre at the cost?

Best to call Oly Service centre to check. One thing you can also check is if the local popular stores which are also stated to be in the participating retailers (MScolor, SLR Revo, TK foto, Alan, Parisilk etc) can offer street prices lower than the stated prices. I remember my preordered EP5 was a bit lower than RRP. Hope that helps

Thanks for the advice. Where can I try some outlet hands on this? Don't seem to be showcast anywhere?

It's not available yet, and won't be before the preorder is over. Just checked with oly, it's likely end of Oct to arrive.

If EVF is not a must have , I'll probably get the E-PL7. Inclusion of 3 axis IBIS and the selfie screen alone make this much easier to use and more applicable.
