I like my OM-1, but ergonomically, I don't think its any better than,
say a Pentax ME super, or even an MX. I like it because it's very
neat, compact and well engineered. Every camera I've had with a grip
of some sort has been easier to hold.

Umm, you use your right hand to change shutter and aperture on your
OM-1? That's weird. I'm going to have to disagree with you here, and
say I found the ergonomics of my old E-10 much better - I really could
use the controls with one hand on that, precisely because of that jog
wheel on the front of the grip (ditto the A-1).
