I haven't seen any UW reviews, but how is this much better than the EM1-II? EM-1 has 2 slots and a much bigger battery. But the 5 is a bit cheaper but with the announcement of the Em-1 III that might also change.

a little bit. 9 mm x 5 mm in body size 18 mm shorter. But when you put it in a housing with a modeling light and two strobes and arms it probably is indistinguishable to first order. The Nauticam housing is about $400 less though, so a system will be a bit less $.

The housing is less for the 5-MkIII but it does not include handles/tray, strobe mounting balls and really needs an accessory flash trigger. The EM-1 II includes all of them and has a really nice well placed shutter release and back button focus lever. By the time you add a tray/handles, mounting balls and a flash trigger extension the housing price is much closer.
There is probably a small window where runout EM-1 MkII can be had a very good price. It looks like currently it is $400 more in the USA - worth it for the bigger battery etc IMO.
