I saw no information on the Sekonic website regarding the differences 
between obsoleted version of the L308B and the current L308BII.

While I liked the idea of this feature, I kept accidentally hitting the 
wrong buttons every time I tried to do something with the Gossen meter. I 
tend to fudge the correction factors in my head anyway, and find I miss 
the warning indicator more often than not when I set a compensation value 
on those of my cameras that have them.

As you say, it's very much a personal choice and not an advertisement for 
one meter manufacturer over another.
