I concur. When I had a Leica M3, a friend bought an OM1. I was 
stunned that there was an SLR no bigger than my M3 with clip on meter 
and almost as quiet.  My used OM1N is quieter than my OM4T which 
quiet by other SLR standards.  The 4 also has some of that SLR mirror 
flip flop feel about it that the 1N does not. The OM1N  wind lever is 
also smoother and has more of a precision feel about it.  On the 
other hand I use the OM4T all the time because of its wonderful 
metering system.  Would an OM3Ti have the best of both worlds?
