I think I'd stick with the Progo but only because the Progo and its
charger are 100% Oly compatible. I alread knew the Progo battery talks
politely about its status to the camera. But I hadn't tried the Oly
battery in the Progo charger. I just put the Oly battery into the Progo
charger to prove to myself that they talk politely to each other. It's
charging as I write this.
