Hello Paul,
As an owner of an EOS-3 I live with this scheme and I have no problem with
it. I decide on the metering before I look through the viewfinder and it is
easy to change the modes using the left thumb for pressing the button and
the right index finger for the wheel. I change between the modes very
frequently but have to admit that I don't know the concept of the -10 and
haven't had the possibility to handle the 7. My experience is limited to
the -3 and the -600.
