Thanks to Joel, Daniel, AG, Jeff, and Winsor for your comments.
I use RAW normally, so good RAW processing is important to me.
I do have Viewer (updated to 1.51) after my E-1 purchase , but AG's photos
certainly seemed to indicate an improvement by using Studio. Unfortunately
the trial version of Studio (v1.0) on the CD can not be updated to 1.5, so I
can not really try it out myself.
With my E-500 I got Master 1, which I was reasonably happy with. Later I
bought Elements 4.0, and recently Elements 5 after I read good reviews. And
now I have downloaded Master 2 for free from Olympus America (Olympus Europe
do not seem to know about it yet). Master 2 seems to be a considerable
advance on Master 1, especially regarding the Editor. RAW development seems
to be better in Master 2 than that in Elements.
Master 2 seems to be able to do everything that Viewer can (other than E-1
camera updates), so I will probably stick to that, and in the meantime try
to get to know Elements 5 better, as it is probably a more flexible editor
than Master 2.
AG's pictures tempt me to try Studio (1.5) though....
