You don't agree, that's nice. It works for me. Note also (as per our last go 'round on the subject of open-aperture metering) that I'm rarely shooting more than 2 stops down from wide open. And I shoot with fast lenses. Open aperture composition just isn't a real issue for my shooting. But getting a 2-3 shot burst is, and TTL flash is useful in other situations.
