You might also try the poor man's OM-2sp aka OM-PC/40. It has the
program mode you're looking for but no spot metering and no
interchangeble screens. It uses averaging and "ESP" metering which
actually works quite well and the fixed screen is the equivalent of a
2-13. You can probably buy the whole camera for less than a new 2-13.
JH had a good deal on one just recently. I was tempted since mine needs
foam and a full CLA wouldn't hurt.
