AG, Bill, Simon, Ian.
   Cost of E-1 upgrade is major factor. Having handled 510 my major
gripes are : card slot door seems very easily opened
             Info on right of viewfinder harder to see than E-1 which
             has info below viewfinder image.
             Viewfinder does NOT seem as good as E-1.

On E-1 successor would like : Tiltable / articulating screen 
                              professional build quality
                              Better VF than 510.
BUT major factor is that (in the UK at least) The price could be
prohibitive for me...at least 30 % markup over US prices.    

   I WANT to wait for E-1 replacement but do not know if I will be able
to afford it...or justify it...for hobby use.  :-O
