Back to the original question:

I am really torn between the OM4Ti and the E1.

For me the E1 has been an excellent workhorse. Picture quality is consistently top notch, there are no problems with dust, and the whole package is rainproof, dustproof and built to last.

OTOH, the OM4Ti offered a superb, but simple to use metering system which (IMHO) has still not been bettered, and with the F280 flashgun allowed flash synch exposures at 1/2000 second at a time when most of the competition could only manage 1/60 second. The lenses were also top rate.

On balance I have decided to go out for a pint and will think about it.
