I think you need to read the features and specification list, and decide what's best for your needs and budget. For example - I bought the L-508 (on sale during "Mamiya week" for something like $325) , mainly because it has a zoom spot with 1� capability. It's also a flash meter, has memory/averaging, two ISO settings, multiple reading modes, etc. I didn't get the 608 because I doubt I'll need wireless slave triggering. There may have been other differences, but the 608 seemed over the top for my needs. The 508 is a great meter with very little to complain about. You may haver different needs - sorry I don't have 408 and 358 specs in fornt of me, but what I do when I'm trying to make such a decision is print out the B&H specifications page on various models and go sit in my "little room" and examine them item for item. Then I try to find an example in a retail store to handle and see how it feels. My only two ergonomic complaints about the 508 are: the placement of the memory button is a little awkward, and ISO 2 is a push-and-hold rather than truly switchable. Minor factors in point of fact, and I'm getting used to the memory button.
