Personally, I think you *need* both. ;)
I agree with Lex. I admit that I am prejudiced about the SP. However, one
of it's charms vs an OM 1 ( I own 3 Om 1s) is that it is all but silent at a
distance of 3 feet with any ambient noise around. It has a very fine lens, a
good spot meter and it synchs at higher speeds.
Do I need it? No! Am I a bonefide Zuikoholic? Yes!
Going back to a long ago thread, with either an XA or an SP you don't look
like a pro and you get pro results. I recently was allowed to photograph
some really funky stuff in a local bistro that absolutely does not allow
photography. I asked nicely and I was carrying this funny old camera ( an
SP). Carrying an OM with my 35=70mm zoom would not have worked.
