Waddya mean, dump the MZ-5n and bring in the MZ-3? In several markets (Canada and Britain, at least), both cameras are available. The MZ-3 is different from the 5n, but it's not really an upgrade. For my shooting, at least, the 2-second shutter speed is needed more often the than the 1/4000 second, which is the main difference between the two cameras.
As for upgrades, the MZ-5 was missing a few essentials, like DOF preview and AE lock, so the 5n really filled a need. With the MZ-S, on the other hand, you have a camera which is pretty complete in every way. The features, ergonomics and, in particular, the build quality, are all I could ask for. Well, maybe the lettering on the controls could be engraved instead of silk-screened, but that shows you how close to ideal the camera already is. In my opinion, at least.
