The TTL flash metering adds a small modicum of flexibility since you're getting your flash reading through the lens, but I've often had to set my other TTL flash metering cameras to full manual operation anyway to get what I wanted. Unlike many, the 1/50 second flash sync doesn't bother me at all ... I use slower film in daylight, the most important feature of the SF20 unit to me is the ability to set EV compensation factors and get an appropriate fill ratio for fill flash. I haven't bought my SF20 or Metz flash yet, I'll likely stick with the simple SF20 since I rarely use flash other than for fill or emergency indoor usage and it's adequate for that. I hate carrying bulky flash equipment around. Otherwise, I am enjoying the M6TTL immensely. It's exactly what I wanted and proves to be just right for my photography with the 35/2 and 90/2.8 lenses.
