If you can find a shop that lets you try before buying, that's your best bet.
This is going from old memories... :-)

Unfortunally where I live, trying something in a shop means a 2 day trip

. But the old adapter and the MZ-3, how will that work? Will none of the camera settings work on it? It will be all manual? If so, I might aswell go with the Nikon and nevermind an adapter.

. Would I gain anything from taking the MZ-3 and an old adapter? Or should I only bother if it is a MZ-4 with a new adapter?
