Why do you prefer the ES battery setup to the ESII? JCO made the same point recently on the Spotmatic list.
I've been surprised at how much I enjoy using my ESII, and the four silver-oxide batteries don't bother me. Even if you're able to use a lithium or other long-life battery with the ES, the additional ESII improvements (self-timer, shutter lock, built-in viewfinder blinds, all slow speeds visible in finder, SMC-coated eyepiece glass, etc.) seem to outweigh this.

... I picked up a very nice chrome ES (which I prefer to the ESII, mainly because of the battery) for very little money.
