Jerry,
I've used OM1's since 1972. Currently I have the bellows, 35/2.8, 50mm/1.8,
100mm/2.8, 135/3.5 all Zuiko, Vivitar 70-150mm/3.5 Macro Zoom, and a Sigma
600/8 mirror lens. For flash I've used a bracket-mounted Vivitar 285 since
1974. Only one of the two bodies has ever needed repair, and that was after
I dropped it. I currently looking at getting an OM2000 to introduce my
granddaughter to photography after "point-and-shoot". Likely analog
photography will linger on well into the 21-Th century, and most likely some
Olympus OM's will still be around then. If you like the OM4Ti, buy it and
use it. "Most popular" doesn't always equate with "best" or even "good',
witness Bill Gates' software and Bill Clinton.

Thanks for your reply, I am still hung between purchasing a OM4Ti or a
Contax Aria. I have a ElanIIe system I am selling, I also have a OM10,
with the Zuiko 28 2.8,50 1.4 and the 135 3.5. I don't really care for
the OM10 body, I am interested in the OM4Ti metering, although I am
wondering if the multi spot metering would be similar to evalutive
metering.
