    Densitometer: spot-reading vs strip reading?

    I know that some people suggest either not using a denisiwhatsit at all, or suggest simply asking others to run tests for them --but on behalf of us thick-headed folks who insist on trying things out the hard way first, here's a question:

    When looking for a densitometer, is it better if the model has "spot reading" ability (in other words, the arm that comes out where you can slide the film/negative under) or are the strip-reading models OK too (the models where you slip a piece of material into a slot)
