It depends on the subsequent technology. If AF and its attendant benefits
(or features) don't provide what the discerning user really wants, then OM
will become more desirable. There's a market for cheap-n-nasty practice
amps in the guitar world as well, but the two co-exist.
The OM-1 is already a classic, there are many favourable references to it
both on the 'net and in print. IMHO it all boils down to the use you have
for it. If it is a better tool for the job (eg astrophotography) than an AF
wonderbrick, then it will be considered better in that context. If it suits
you, then use it and be happy.
