And what´s happens if you use the screens  1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-9, 1-12 in
your older OM´s? 
They are clear screens who affect metering far more than a little bit
more contrasty screens like the 2-4 an 2-13.
Autodynamic exposure of the OM-2/2n will not be affectet at all.
I´ve tried out some more contrasty, "brigther" screens in OM-1 and OM-2,
the effect was less than a 1/3 stop !

Grid screens are nevertheless necessary, cause they make it easier to
level the camera and to spot perspectivic distorsion.
Splitcreen would be nice, because some wideangles are dificult to focus
without.
