The problem is: What I want to do is scattered over multiple bodies:

1. The metering and exposure system is on the OM-4 family.
2. The 1/125s flash sync is on the 2000.
3. So is the convenient double exposure.
4. The TTL flash is on many bodies, but not the ones with mirror lockup.
5. The TTL flash with shutter speeds slower than 1/60s is on the 3Ti.
6. The self-timer is not on the 3Ti.

Missing from all are:
7. The ability to meter both ambient light and TTL flash in the same exposure.
8. 1/250s flash sync.
9. TTL flash metering.

3, 5, 7, and 9 could have been easily added to the 4T in a routine update
similar the 4->4T and the 3->3Ti.
