I have both types of kits. HCB would  say M2 and me too. You are going to 
the city of light, the outfit is lighter, smaller and easier to handle?learn 
the lovely OM kit at hoem but when you go use what you know  (I have three 
OM3s and ned only the weird fast wides and the ?great whites? awesome 
cameras but)
