The 2(N) and 2sp are two totally different classes of
camera. Think of the 2sp as more of an OM-4 lite
rather than a 2(N) deluxe. If you like the 2 series
more than a 4 series then get the 2(N) If, on the
other hand, you prefer the 4 series get the 2sp. There
is a big difference in handling and 'feel' between my
Mom's 2n and my 2sp and not so much difference between
it and my OM-4
