Of course,

bracketing makes sense, but then nothing beats exposure precision on any
_decisive moment_!
So it's better to get a good exposure/spotmeter.

You said it there! Even when using a meter I bracket. People can talk all
day long about EI, EV, ASA, DIN, etc. But, as they say, a picture's worth
1,000 words. And there's no better way to get a good understanding of any
given film, under any given condition, than to bracket like hell. It's not
always applicable, but I bracket whenever it makes sense.
