both are good cameras. if you're leaning towards the nex, amazon us is selling the very capable (and only slightly a downgrade to the a6000) nex-6 for a steal of a price of 525USD
Amazon.com : Sony NEX-6L/B 16.1 MP Compact Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LED (Black) : Compact System Digital Cameras : Camera & Photo
as for the bold part-

The EM10 also lets you dial-in 60 second exposures (vs 30 on the A6000), allows you to trigger ones as long as 30 minutes in-camera without accessories, and lets you peek at long exposures as they build-up.

In the camera, you can set the shutter speed on the Oly to 60s, which isn't common in other cameras. This means you don't need to set the camera to Bulb and use a remote shutter (to reduce camera shake) to trigger the shutter manually while you keep time for anything between 30-60s on the Oly. Anything longer than 60s and you'll likely need a remote. Not a huge deal as it's probably a good idea to have one anyways.

The effects filters can be applied to JPEGs while RAW files are left untouched

If you shoot raw, you'll be using a program like Aperture or Lightroom. In camera effects are usually gimmicky, so I don't think this is a huge deal also.
This is the biggest deal. AEB is Auto-Exposure Bracketing. In tough lighting conditions, people use this feature to take multiple exposures of the same picture (-3 Exposure compensation, -2, -1, 0, +1 ,+2, +3, etc). 7 just means you can take 7 shots (other cameras vary from 3 to 5 usually). This is not a huge deal since 2 extra shots isn't a deal breaker imo.
What you should look for is your propensity for acquiring glass. If you want to play around with manual focus, the Sony will be a better choice given you can get a cheap adapter and thus access to older MF lenses. Otherwise the Oly will have a much broader selection of m4/3rd lenses to choose from currently.
If I were you, I'd go Oly or Nex-6. The last paragraph is basically making the decision easy for you. IS is pretty handy, and smaller lenses equal a smaller camera. Personally I'd go Oly.
