  Let's see here; my travel OM4 kit (OM4T, 24/2, 135/3.5) weighs in at 
1080g. Yup, less than E-1+14-54, and I reckon a fair bit smaller. On a 
recent trip, though, I took the E-1 kit, and an XA as a pocket-sized 
camera for walking around, because the XA is great, and much smaller 
than anything else.

  The E-1 is bigger, definitely, but the grip's so well designed that I 
don't really notice in use, it's so easy to hold -- the ergonomics in 
general are just great, except for the one-touch WB button which I tend 
to accidentally hit from time to time.

  Oh, and I've been taking advantage of the waterproofness of the E-1 -- 
we went down to Niagara Falls, so here's a panoramic shot of the falls 
from below (and a few others while I'm at it)

  (of course, while the camera is waterproof enough to use in a 
downpour, that doesn't solve the problem of water on the lens..)
