You still have battery drain, it is just greatly reduced (5 micro amps as
opposed to 30).
The 4T / Ti is very serviceable, the 4 isn't. That's why I recommend it
regardless of difference in used price.
There are no individual parts for OM-2 circuits either, but the entire
circuits are still available, or easily scavenged from used bodies (a 2
circuit is easily modifiable for use in a 2N and vice versa). They are also
quick to install and test.
