I can't argue with the results but keep in mind that you are playing a 
trade-off game of depth of field against resolution loss due to 
diffraction.  The E-1 is diffraction limited at about f/9, higher res 
E-thingies at about f/6.3.  Depth of field is based on viewing size so 
what looks good as a web image may not look so good as a large print, 
especially if taken at several stops beyond the diffraction limit.  But 
I have no advice on where the happy middle ground is other than 
experimentation.
