My 2cents worth:  I use an OM-2 that was CLA'd at Camtech in the past year.  
In combination with an 85/2 I have taken some wonderful photos of my favorite 
subject, my grandaughter.  It is small, light and soooo easy to use.  I set 
it on Auto mode and try to use my head in selecting an aperture for the shot 
I want.

Recently got an OM-4t.  Multi-spot metering is great!  It is heavier than the 
OM-2 but has a much better viewfinder for my eyesight.  I have not yet 
learned 1/10th of what it will do.  

Then there's the OM-1 that is off getting CLA and custom leather covering.  
It went off for CLA after about 300 rolls of film went through it without a 
hitch.  It was still going strong when I sent it for CLA more for the custom 
covers than the functionality of the camera.

So, Tom is correct, you need more than 1.  Depends on what you like to 
photograph and the extent of your Zuikoholism.  All in all, I'd buy the OM-4t 
or the OM-2 as a next step after the OM-10.
