Bill, I have an OM-PC acquired as part of a "job-lot".  

I disposed of all the lenses (yes, even a Zuiko) to fund repair of the
OM-PC, because it was worth the price.  The net cost after proceeds of sale
and $150 for the repair was pretty much nil - :-), but still, think about
what you get with the -PC: 
In-built bright focussing screen, almost 2-series;
Program mode for grab shots when you don't have time to set anything;
TTL metering which is similar to what is provided on the Oly digital
cameras, with ESP automatic backlight compensation;
full compatibility with Motor Drive (OK, not at 5 fps); and 
full compatibility with T series flashes including TTL flash metering.

And DX coding too!

One more thing, bar a complete circuit replacement, it is still repairable
too.

All that in a camera which I am not worried about damaging, losing, lending
to son/daughters. 

I suspect you are converted anyway - if not, convince yourself.

1) Does anyone have any experience using the Sto-Fen gismo on a T32 with
bounce grip?  If so, do you have any specific suggestions about its use and
the results produced.

2) Can anyone give me a compelling reason either to or not to use the OMPC
as my "ride around in the car camera."  I have a beautiful example that has
been sitting in OM purgatory (my gear closet) for a couple of years because
it has a mirror that sticks up from time to time.  It keeps calling out for
a CLA and I've resisted so far.  Anyone using this one regularly and if so
do you have any advice or comments other than sending it to you?
