The OM-PC/40's metering system is embarrassingly good, specially
when one considers how simple and fast to work with it is.

I have OM-3's and PC's. Most of the time I use a hand-held
meter to choose exposure, IMO the spot meter in the situation you
describe can be used to great advantage. Though an OMPC, a grey card,
and a bit of bracketing would probably yield better results. There's
NOTHING to be sad about in owning an OM-4ti, except the price. :)
