Either way works, if it works for you. But I find an extra meter just more 
junk to carry around, and antithetical to the M6 aesthetic. I can meter in 
the toughest conditions with my M6 and come away with great exposures, but 
I won't pretend it didn't come without some practice and getting to know 
the meter.
