[OM] Sensors of E-400 and E-410 to be compared?

[Frank van Lindert]

The Olympus website (olympus.europe.com) lists the following in the
specs of the E-400 and the E-410:

E-410:  10.9 Megapixels Live MOS sensor 17.3 x 13.0 mm
E-400:  10.8 Million Pixels CCD sensor 17.3 x 13.0 mm

Could someone explain what's the important difference (if any) between
the two sensors of these cameras?

In am confused because what is written on:
http://www.olympus-esystem.com/dea/products/e510/

"The new 10-million pixel Live MOS sensor reproduces images with rich
gradations equivalent to an 8-million pixel CCD"

Are 3 million pixels lost somewhere? 
Or does my E-400 (which gives me images of a sharpness I am VERY happy
with!) yield the same "rich gradations" which supposedly a 15
megapixel Live MOS sensor would give?

Thanks for any help in advance!
