I question the value of AE if your only metering mode is center-weighted. If light conditions aren't changing rapidly, it would be much easier to meter once and forget about it. When it comes time to print, it's easier to print a series that look like they belong together if they were exposed the same. If each differs by 1/3 stop, that's going to be a pain in the darkroom. Or computer room. :) If light conditions *are* changing rapidly, you'll probably want something more sophisticated than center-weighted metering. AE center-weighted just seems to be the worst of both worlds.
