 It's 25 degrees reflected angle puts it in a different category then the 
average
 meter which reads 40 degrees.

In my book, the narrower the angle of acceptance on a reflected light meter, 
the better.  I use the angle attachment on my older Luna Pro's, but bulk 
increases a bit.  I have lately found a used Minolta IIIF.  It has a sizeable 
incident dome and is easily converted to a relected light meter.  Also has a 
narrow angle attachment which reads much more easily than the Gossen.  The 
basic incident meter cost me $130.
However, I should also mention my first light meter, the indestructible 
Sekonic Auto Leader L-38, still working quite well without batteries.  Fits 
easily in the palm of your hand, has a strong metal case, reads in low light 
and is very accurate - a classic, and very cheap when you find them.
