It struck me that what Bill was quite obviously asking was "how does the
M7 meter handle high contrast situations?" 

And you can't seriously be suggesting that "the best way to find out
what will actually happen is to buy an M7 (for $2400) and 
forget about this nonsense!" - Perhaps discovering after you've paid
$1000 more than you'd pay these days for a mint m6TTL that the metering
system won't handle high contrast situations as well as you hoped. Duh!

You're kidding right? Even if you use a manual camera and a spot meter, 
you can't possibly get two medium grey horses unless you take two shots 
on different pieces of film. Duh...
