Local store - use them or lose them. They had an Oly Livedrive event
at Melrose recently and I got to use an E3 and 12-60 for a couple of
weeks and I drop of film at the Cambridge location because its
conveniently near the lab I work in. Picked up my 510 from and for
that matter my OM2n and 50/1.4 from them too (for a song since they
let me use my student discount even though its not supposed to be
applied to used gear). Ask them about the price - they do sometimes
match - sure you pay sales tax but you get to take it home the same
day.
By the way the E3 is a beautiful camera and improves on the 510 in
many ways that I like but it is really big and people like turning and
looking like deer in headlights.

If I could reach from pole to pole
Or grasp the ocean with a span,
I would be measured by the soul;
The mind's the standard of the man.
