I've got both. The spot metering is v. nice but...the finder of the 2sp is
significantly dimmer due to the reduced mirror transmission (as in "you can
fit a series 2 screen - because you'll need one!") and I dislike the LED
bars in the finder compared to a simple needle. The electronics are a bit
more fragile, I suspect. Also, I found that I'm a bit heavy fingered
getting the display to fire up with the shutter button and got some
unintentional shots - now I flick from manual to auto and back to switch on
the display and that's a pest. Then there's the battery consumption.....
The spot metering costs a lot.
