It seems an odd question to me. Sort of like asking whether to get a Porsche or a big fancy 4x4 pickup truck 'cause they both are really macho and both have manual transmissions. Yet they are more different than alike and don't do each other's jobs very well at all.

The 2 cameras have only two major similarities, they are both mechanical shutter bodies with sophisticated meters. However, the way they work for making images is very different and the things they excel at and are relatively poor at differ greatly. What do you want to do with them? I like CF and macro, teles, zooms and accurate framing, so I much prefer SLRs. If I liked wide angles and street shooting more, I might be more partial to Rangefinders. The job determines the tool.

So lets say I have way too much money (ha ha ha), should I spend this extra cash on:

1) an OM3-T, seeing that I already have some good f2 Zuikos, or

2) M7, and mortgage the second child to get a 35/2, 50/2, and 90/2?
