I have no doubt that the OM1 is a better camera. For me, better focus
and pro capture would be of interest, together with the longer battery
life and USB-C charging. I will go and look at an OM1. But, do I want to
spend an extra $1K or so, when the time comes?
I've given up wearing polarizing glasses, so any OM1 or 5 model that
isn't affected by this limitation would be of interest.

Thanks to all who responded.
1) Wasabi looks like the only choice for non-OEM batteries here is
Canada. The only other brand that seems quite well regarded is
Watson, offered by B&H. However, with the current tariff regime - and
the removal of the /de minimus/ rule here in N. America - I'm
avoiding anything imported, particularly from the US.
2) Yes, I know the E-M5 mk2 is an old camera. At some point, I will
have to change it. I really like the form factor of the 5 series
bodies, though I have never handled an EM/OM1.
I don't particularly like the form factor, size and weight of the
OM-1. Although I never liked rangefinder cameras, I quite like that
form factor. If I could get an OM-1 in a Panny GX9 or Sony A7C body,
it would be wonderful!
But I really like what the OM-1 II DOES. And, so far, they work OK
hanging on my body.
