[OM] Why E1 over others?

OK, my wife needs, well OK, wants, a dSLR. We are narrowing it down to the 
E1, the Pentax *ist, and may be the D70. Although the D70 is probably out 
because its autofocus seems to be very slow.

E1
Pros: "better" lens, 2 zoom covering just about 95% of the needs. Max 
aperture of 2.8 (to 3.5) is nice. ISO to 100
Cons: slightly bigger for our small hands, although balance OK. 5MP (may 
not matter?). No built in flash for fill. Slightly more expensive?

*istD
Pros: better autofocus. There are times where the E1 hunts for focus. The 
Pentax is the best of the bunch. 6MP (may not matter?)
Cons: ISO only to 200.

For the few that chose E1, anything else I should consider? Have any OM 
users switched to the *istD? Why?

Finally, pictures like this make all the money spent on equipments 
worthwhile, sorry not an OM shot :-(
