This may just be me, but I find the 2 series screen equally as bright and the
ground glass easier to focus on for some reason. This is important to me cause I
generally don't like or use focusing aids. That said, I have a 2-4 in my 4t, but
I do have a plain Beattie with grid lines on order cause Oly doesn't make that
combo.

The OM1 meters off the focus screen so putting in a brighter screen will
throw off the meter, which of course you can allow for or you can have the
meter re-callibrated.
A better option is probably an Olympus 2 series focus screen. Theses suit
OM2-SP, OM3/Ti and OM4/Ti but can be made to fit an OM1 by filing a bit
off the tab I believe.
The Olympus 2 series screens are as bright as the beatie and are cheaper.
About half the cost I think.
