Recently I sold my OM-2S (bought new in 1985) after I bought a 4Ti; I sold the
2S for $225, and bought the 4Ti for $170, so it was a pretty good deal! To me
the 4Ti seems to be much more versatile, apart from the program mode. I
frequently use the spot function on the 4Ti in auto mode, often just a single
spot. I can not see why the 2S can be better..but I must admit to really liking
the 2S. Now I have a 2n as backup to the 4Ti; very cheap ($30 !) and no battery
problems.
