I'm not so sure about the wide-angle aspect. The 7-14 ZD pretty
well takes care of almost anybody's WA needs.
The E-1 is still such an awesome camera for *some* types of
photography that it's a keeper probably for the long term with
me. The only way I'd get rid of it is if I wholesale change to
Nikon.
I thought about the E-400's lack of weather sealing and it hit
me that the 5D doesn't have it either. Other than a bit more
metal around the case (pretty thin at that), it's not really any
more robust than the Olympus E-xxx models.

Ouch. You're going to sell off a classic--which might never
decrease in investment value for a camera which will be
superceded with the new model (5dMii) in three months.
Olympus' 10MP sensor would actually give more usable pixels in
standard 5x7 or 8x10 cropping than a 10MP 2x3 sensor. Also,
when you compare "short-side" dimension of the sensors, the 4/3
sensor is just barely smaller than the APS-C sensor in the 30D.
For those of us who crop nearly all of our images to 4x5 ratio
the size differential between 4/3 and APS is negligable.
