Honestly, it all comes down to : how good are you with a lightmeter
The dslr is a computer that uses in-camera metering to adjust to a scene in its internal database and give a recommendation. Nothing to do with spot metering, middle grey, Zone III or anything else. It might agree with an hand held meter, then again it may not.
For those accomplished in metering with a spot, its not appropriate.
For those not very good at scene lighting interpretation and selecting the best exposure, the computer in the DSLR can really help.
DSLR can be pretty darn good with color film, not so with B&W.
