moving on from fz38

[no-ice]

i have sold on my FZ38, not entirely sure why lol, but its done now. looking to replace it i am unsure on what i want.
Kind of toying between an FZ45 and an olympus e-pl1.
I used to love the zoom on my fz38 and i would miss that feature with the pl1, but i would love to take high quality photos of my kids etc, and be able to make decent size prints of them.
What to do...anyone made a similar change in camera?

I've made the change but to a Canon T2I and simply love it but still bring my 38 with me though.
