I've got three 20-year-old OM-4 "battery eaters."  A pair of 
silver 357s in one of these much-maligned bodies lasts about six 
to eight months.  At $0.71 each, including shipping, from Twin 
City Supply (http://store.watchsupply.com), that amounts to less 
than $3 a year.

I also have three OM-4T's, and I pay very little attention to 
whether I'm using a 20-year-old OM-4 or a three-year-old OM-4Ti.  
Unless you're using the F280 flash, one's as good as the other.  A 
working OM-4 in good condition is probably the best bargain in the 
whole OM line today, in my estimation.
