I use a Gossen Starlight and, as it's the only handheld meter I have used, I cannot offer much in the way of comparisons. However, I will list my complaints!
1. No exposure information in the viewfinder;
2. It eats batteries, even if I use it sparingly and switch it off after use;
3. Its low-light sensitivity is disappointing; the light meter in my Canon EOS 3 can actually give me accurate exposures under moonlit conditions, whereas the Gossen reads "Err";
4. Easy to lose lens cap
Apart from that, it does what it is supposed to do. Exposures are accurate and the Zone function is useful. This is a good light meter, but I don't exactly 'love' it.
