As I understand it, that would only work if the
flashgun's settings stay at f2/f4/f8 no matter what
ISO is set.  I'm not sure this is the case with the
Metz as I don't have access to one.  I remember a
couple of autoflashes I used to have, when you changed
the ISO setting from 100 to 200, the auto aperture
settings would go from f2.8/f4 to f4/f5.6.

Or maybe I'm missing something here.

With a non TTL flash just lie to the flash about your
film speed.  So, tell
the flash you are using 200 speed film at F2 when in
reality you are using
100 speed at F1.4.  Piece of cake.
