I think Simon has made a very important point here. On many occasions I know
the "sweet" light will only last a few moments and there is little time for
elaborate metering schemes. The ability to guess constructively, based on
past experience, is the key to getting the shot quickly. Playing with a
meter under a variety of lighting conditions and documenting the
photographic results is one way to get that experience. /jmac

For what it's worth (and in case folk hadn't figured it out from my
other comments!) I agree entirely.
I also think getting one is the fastest way to teach oneself accurate
"guesstimation" for the times you can't use the meter.
