===I'm considering using an OM2n in a "poor-man's studio" role.  Basically,
I
want to mount a couple of T32 and T20 flashes to tripods at different angles
to the subject and have them all fired by the 2n's shutter release.  So I
think I need the Autoconnector 4, a Autoconnector T20 for each T20 flash I
use, a whole bunch of TTL cables, and a TTL multi-connector.  Is there
anything else required that I am not thinking of?  Would a flashmeter be a
great idea, or can the camera's TTL circuits handle this?===

Yes it works.  I always suggest using them on manual with slaves and a flash
meter but auto works well under many conditions.  I think the key to TTL is
to have the scene neutral.
You could just use a T-32 with a 2 meter cord and a reflector of some sort
and save on accessories.
Lack of a modeling light is the big set back but with a little practice and
some notes you could do this quite well.  You could also borrow a meter and
record the distance on manual.  Then never meter again.
