<<Far better
to use the center weighted meter that at least has a hope of giving the
correct exposure by the colour value averaging method (red barn + blue sky +
green field = colour neutral exposure).>>

Center weight is no good either, unless you want the center to be the most
"properly" exposed part of the scene.

The OM 2 went from center to overall average metering (if I understand it
correctly).
In theory, the overall average would be more accurate.
I don't know the weight of an OM3 or 4 averaging meter.  (no, not grams) :-)

Why would a center weighted meter know the color of the barn?
If the meters only have a "hope" of getting the correct exposure, why
use them at all?

Just adding some fuel,
