Besides my bunch of eleven OM bodies, I own a Contax Aria. This "plastic
toy" has matrix metering ("evaluative metering", as they call it) with a
bar graph in the viewfinder showing the difference between evaluative
metering and centre-weighted metering.
If I'm doing point & shoot, just press the trigger. When I'm aware of a
"difficult" metering scene, I look at the graph and compare the indication
with what my experience tells; if they match, press trigger; otherwise, I
turn the exposure compensation dial... or switch to spot metering ;-)

That sounds like very thoughtful design. I imagine that it is a very
high quality "plastic toy". What lenses do you have and do you like
using it? Get good results?
A former list member, Denton Taylor, who became upset with the lack
of support from Olympus for the OM system went to the Aria several
years ago, enthusiastically. I think he said he was keeping the OM
for his macro set up.
11 OM bodies! Wow. You have it bad.
