Would like to eventually replace the 200/4 with the 180/2.8 on the long 
end, and may eventually pick up a 21/2 on the short end (there have been
a 
couple occasions I would have liked to use that length instead of
working 
the 18/3.5 and the 24/2 was too long).

wouldn't we all.... I'd also agree about the 18mm - an amazingly sharp
and versatile lens if used in the right way.  Absolutely necessary for
most small interiors, and I think I've almost gotten the hang of it w/
street shots.  The non-fastening cap worries me a bit when the lens is
attached to a body and stuffed in the bag, maybe this is where the 21/2
or 3.5 has a slight advantage.

Also, to bring up a previous thread, I think my ideal "kit under $1100"
would be:

OM-4Ti  $425
35 shift        $425
85/2            $250

nice, small, and simple.
