The OM1 meters off the focus screen so putting in a brighter screen will 
throw off the meter, which of course you can allow for or you can have the 
meter re-callibrated.

A better option is probably an Olympus 2 series focus screen.  Theses suit 
OM2-SP, OM3/Ti and OM4/Ti but can be made to fit an OM1 by filing a bit 
off the tab I believe.

The Olympus 2 series screens are as bright as the beatie and are cheaper.  
About half the cost I think.
