For some of my,"Hog friends" Who needs the meter any longer?
Answer is, a just about everybody who has studio lights, or any one who do not like to take several testing shots to fine correct values.Since no camera can measure that at yet as these meters do.
Well yes, my guessing is pretty good as yours,IF situations are the same than previous shoot's.
I use a meter in studio, and still take test shots on subjects, but not for exposure - more for light and shadow analysis. The meter will nail the lighting ratios once I establish where I want the lights.
In the old days I used a polaroid back on my view camera to accomplish the same thing.
