No, I don't think so. While an f/2 lens is certainly important for some uses when you're talking about OM Zuikos you also have a choice of 21/2, 24/2, 35/2, 40/2 and 50/2.0 or 1.8. In other words plenty of other choices in the general vicinity of 28mm are also available at f/2. So, I ask again, why 28mm?

Chuck, it's not the 28 portion of the formula, it's the 2.

I find it interesting how often you talk about your 28mm lens.  I have a
Zuiko 28/2.8 and a Kiron 28/2 and I have almost never used them.  The same
with 35mm.  For some reason I have never become accustomed to shooting with
primes of these focal lengths.  I'm sure I use them occasionally when
shooting with a zoom but I don't think I'd be happy walking around with
only a 28 or 35mm prime.  What's different about how we see the world
through these lenses?

Shoot a roll or two of film in the OM-3Ti with 28/2 and 100/2 lenses.
That will put "perfection" in perspective. Everything else is just
computer nonsense.
