I think I need a longer focal length, although 200 mm becomes 400 mm equiv. on 2x crop factor - the moon is still so small.

Okay, you posted another shot when I was writing the following note. Some adjustments were made to it as a result.
Looks pretty good, really. I like the color of the first one. I would have to drive for miles in order to find a place to shoot the moon close to the horizon in order to get that color. I suppose I could always photoshop it, but I prefer the real thing. A few questions:
Did you try your camera's equivalent of Live View for focusing accuracy? Some (all) of the MFTs have a zoom feature with their EVF, don't they?
I ask because I suspect the image could have been a bit sharper. I've found that sometimes some of my shots will be sharper than others, even though nothing in the setup has changed. This is due to atmospheric turbulence, so I'll usually take a bunch of shots, hoping to get a few keepers.
What is the percent factor of the image you posted? 100%? If so, that's still pretty good for a 200mm. I see some pixelation in the second shot.
What was your lens aperture setting? For moon shots, you definitely want to be shooting within your lens's 'sweet spot'. I'm thinking that, based on the EXIF data of your first shot, you probably had your lens stopped down quite a ways. If you prefer shooting at ISO 400, next time try 1/400-1/500 @ f/8. Correct exposure for the moon at ISO 100 is 1/125 @ f/11 for the full moon, f/8 otherwise.

Michael,
The moon shot is heavily cropped. You are looking at 100% pixel view. I sharpened it a bit in PS. I did not change the color, the quarter moon was taken in a quite cloudy day. The speed is a bit slow, 1/20 or 1/60 with ISO 100 and f/11 I guess. The half moon was taken with greater ISO (probably 200 or 400) and WB = sunny (or AWB?). And the camera is 4/3, that's why you see all the grain 
By the way I didn't use any tripod, it was all handheld with in-body Image Stabilizers ON. I was in sniper mode when pushing the button

Sorry I made mistake with the EXIF,
I just check it again and realized that the quarter moon was shot with ISO 400 and 1/20 sec while the half moon is with ISO 100 and 1/60 sec.
