For about AU$200 you can get a new Sekonic L-308 off ebay which is a decent all purpose meter with reflective, incident & flash metering capabilities. I have one of these and it's good enough for my needs. I would like a L-358, or better yet L-558, but because I only shoot digital nowadays the use to cost ratio poo poo's that purchase.
I don't think you should limit yourself to just a reflective meter, unless you go the spot meter option.
