purely physical, they have the same weight, are of the same material, so
none!

You don't really need batteries, so you can save this cost over the lifetime
of the camera. (however, it makes the 3Ti a VERY expensive OM1 which
provides the same for less cost, and has a mirror lock-up and self timer,
but no manual 1/2000 speed)

depends on the LUST for it. However, I made up my mind considering the
3Ti... I am sure I will almost never use it, the 4Ti works just the same in
manual (unless the F280 flash sync thinghy) and offers a nice auto mode as
well. The 3Ti doesn't even have a pre-fire mirror lock up. (BUT IT HAS THAT
FANTASTIC SOUND, which is exactly the same as the OM3, unless the titanium
let it sound different), so I won't buy an OM3ti, however...
Question three and a halve:
Would this fellow consider trading his OM3 for a very nice black OM4Ti?

Probably not, the fact that you can't sleep over it and the fact that you
are asking these questions to justify yourself, I presume you are lost to
zuikoholism and the decision is made already, just a bit subliminal at the
moment though!
