You'll get deluged with responses to this question. IMHO, any single digit
OM is an upgrade. A 1N lacks the automation you've grown accustomed to in
your 10, but the feel/sound/functioning are vastly improved. Ditto for a
2/2N, and it gets you the automation (exposure) your used to. They are both
prolific on our old friend E*ay, and prudent hunting/shopping/waiting can
reward you with a gem for a relative song. Naturally, a 3/3T or 4/4T would
fit the above descriptors except the relative song part.
In double digit replacements, an OM-G (20) or PC (40) should serve you
faithfully and meet your needs as well. They just don't have the legendary
jewel-like quality and feel of the single digits. I'd probably opt for the
40/PC over the G for it's more sophisticated metering capabilities.
All IMHO, of course, and probably not worth 0.02USD.
