[OM] focusing screen questions

Hello all,
Having recently acquired an autobellows, I'm finding
that the standard 1-13 focusing screen gets difficult
to use with a really dim image.  Something brighter
for macro photography is in order.  So now I'm looking
at the different focusing screens.  The 1-4 looks to
be about right, but I'm not used to focusing with just
a matte area.  Which brings me to the 1-11, how do
those cross hair focusing aids work?  Neither my 2n
nor PC have diopters which the eSIF says need to be
adjusted to use this screen properly.  

On another note, I went shopping for a new (larger)
camera bag.  Before I joined this list, my entire kit
could fit into one compact bag, but no longer!  I
brought the lenses (and bodies) that I would
anticipate using on one photo outing to my local
camera store and tried out some of their bags.  The
latest big "pro" Tamrac bags appear to have been
designed for large zooms and fat bodies, because my
little OM-2n, 35-70 f/3.5-4.5, 100 f/2.8 and others
were just swimming around with tons of room!  It's
amazing how much OM gear can fit into a small bag,
kinda like the clowns climbing into their car at the
circus.
