JamesV,

Both cameras have good meters, but the R8 gives you more options.  While
the meters are different, the difference is only a minor point compared
to the much larger difference of a rangefinder compared to an SLR. 
Decide what lenses you will want and how you use the camera and then
choose the system. 

Have fun,

Colin
