It might very well end up that way... I think I'll get one body CLA'd and
see how I like shooting with it.

True... I'll have to see. I haven't even picked up the rest of the gear yet.
I grabbed the 18mm because I new it must be a nice lens and the rest of the
stuff is still sitting at work.

I had my Canon CLA'd at a local place recently and they put a little dated
sticker inside. When I opened the Olympus boies all 4 of them had service
stickers from the same place, but dated 1986!
Thanks for the advice.
