I had an OM-PC and it was nice with the ESP metering. I also liked the
rubberized coating and the overall handling, TTL flash, MD use, etc. It
was a bit clunky, but not too much. But I think that an OM-4/4Ti with the
spot metering beats it hands-down for a "real" photographer. (but that's
$75 vs. $500!) :-o
But my real beef with the OM-PC is that they're just not reliable enough
for my perverse nature. I had two die on me and get the degenerative
circuit disease. I ended up always having a backup body, and the OMPC was
supposed to BE the backup body. So even after medical attention, they
never were right and got sold AS-IS on E**y. It was an amatuer camera
built in the mid-1980's and the electronics just doesn't hold up after all
this time in many cases.
Be forewarned.

Not to push you towards yet another camera, but.... the OM-PC (OM-40) AE
metering with ESP turned on does a pretty fair job of handling backlit
situations where the subject is near the center of the frame and of
reasonable size - like a person or group of people. And it works with
all your existing lenses.
