I agree absolutely. It's a boost to your enthusiasm to try a
new camera every now and again but only on a readily
repeated trip. It's no fun at all to find that the more important
pictures aren't of the standard that you know you'd have had
with a familiar one. Or worse, no pictures at all.

You will have no chance to test the camera and to learn how the camera

"sophistication" or not.
"OM cameras are the best travel cameras one can find. I doubt, that
an cheesy 28-200mm lens will be as usfull and good than just an moderate
28mm/2.8 50mm/1.8 and 100mm/2.8 combo.
"But then I have to change lenses", you may ask, just take a second OM
body with you, will improve reability, gives you the possibility to use
two different films at the same time, saves money (you probably have a
second body).
"Forget built in flash, they are just a ridiculous P&S attribute.
Fill flash will looks artificial and you won´t like this look in several
years, after seeing to many overflashed news magazin photos.
I would suggest to use a good framing and exposure technique to
eliminate contrast problems...
"Save you the hassle of screwed up photos, because your not familar with
an new camera, stick with Olympus."
