And now I do.
Went today to handle the camera (it was the OM EM1, which is supposed to be very similar to the OM-1), and as soon as I picked it up I knew it was good. Not that much bigger and I didn't really notice the weight in the few minutes I held it. I'm sure I would for 2 hours or more, but not today. The grip really felt good in my hand, so that nails it down a bit more for me.
Thanks for mentioning holding it, because I'm not sure I would have made myself go pick one up, otherwise
