at least with the E-1 you do get shutter speed estimates in the view finder!
I did a quick test this morning inside my house because light was 
changing quickly (clouds coming and going fast).
I focused on something on the windowsill with outside as a background 
and vice versa. Tried the 90, 1.8/50, 4.5/300 and 2/85.
They all tend to expose higher (!) at higher f stops (both ESP and CWA), 
but really over (!) only at f 16 or 22 when the outside background (dark 
trees) gets more in focus. No scientific testing though...

cheers
