For me this is no real disadvantage. There is a easy 'workaround' for this: 
        *Set your desired shutter speed. 
        *switch to auto mode
        *turn the aperture ring until the bar indicates the selected speed
        ( this step is similar to operate a OM40 /OM-PC in manual mode)
        *swith the mode selector to manual
        (with litte experience this can be done while locking though the 
viewfinder)
        -> your average-metered light value is 'stored'.

I use this manul workout when fast operation is not necessary. So I´m not 
bothered
because of the the additional action.

P.S: I like my OM-2sp
