I own only one of each (one in the OM-2s and one in the OM-4), but based on my 
limited experience:

1. There's WAY MORE Beattie screen types available than OM "2-series" screens;
2. They're both approximately the same increase in relative brightness over the 
"1-series" screens;
3. The Beatties are more expensive than the Olympuses; and
4. The machining/finishing on the Beatties is a little "cruder" than that of 
the Oly screens (but I still use 'em happily).

My $0.02 worth.

Garth
