I'll add my voice here.  The brightest viewfinder display I've *ever* seen is 
my OM-4 with a 2-series screen in it (followed very closely by my OM-2Sp with a 
Beattie Intenscreen).  Don't avoid buying a -3 or -4 because you're worried 
about viewfinder brightness -- with either of these screens, it's a winner.
