Hombre/dude... Good for you to do the research - full disclosure, I use Canon equipment when I'm on the "money making" side of the house.
I, of course, was talking about my own, personal experience. Both of the "Conclusion" sections on the web site you cited actually gave a higher review to the LX3. As for the video, well, comparing 1.78:1 to 1.33:1 is all apples to oranges. And comparing indoor versus outdoor, with the camera moving versus objects moving in the scene - you can understand my skepticism.
When my original G9 got munched the reason I didn't jump to first the G10 (and then the G11) was that Canon made a mistake with the G10 (still image performance was an order of magnitude worse than my G9) and they started to take features away (to protect video production with 5D Mk.II and the eventual 7D). All without reducing the price. That stank as far as I am concerned.
Regardless, was trying to give you some actual real world experience. Good luck with your decision.
