As for the old tag "this would be the best Bond if Connery were in it"... I think he was so bored and contemptuous of the role (at the time) I don't think he would have taken it quite as seriously as it needed to be. 
Very good point. The Connery of GOLDFINGER or FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE would have been tremendous in OHMSS.  The Connery of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE or even of THUNDERBALL, no thank you.  I'd stick with Lazenby in that case.
