The 5n has mirror lock up? I don't think I saw that in the manual or on the camera body.
Of all the features you've mentioned, the only one that I might use consistently would be spot metering, and MLU when shooting certain situations. I use a spot meter when using a hand held meter. Coincidentally, I started compiling a compendium of things I like/dislike about the 5n. I'm going to take the camera into San Francisco today and see how it works. The light weight is nice.
