The extreme zoom range of the bridge cameras probably cause a little more lens aberration than you should experience in a lens with shorter zoom such as 3-4x.  If you just want a lens where the maximum reach is beyond 400 mm equivalent, then you could combine the lens described here with a 1.4x converter (assuming that the regular olympus 1.4x will work with a lens such as this, or that someone will make a 1.4x converter for the system).
