I use this HyperManual style all the time. In fact, for both K and FA lenses, the behavior is the same. For K lenses I turn the aperture ring and then meter where I want by pressing the green button (the camera sets the shutter speed). For FA lenses I turn the body dial to set the aperture where I want and then meter where I want by pressing the green button (the camera leaves the aperture alone and sets the shutter speed, just like the K). I rely on this behavior for both types of lenses. So I would not want that behavior to change.
