After several years of using a Sekonic, I realized that its turn-on delay was getting on my last nerve -- I wanted to whip out the meter, grab a reading, and stuff the meter away again. The Gossen grabs a reading almost immediately from a cold start, and is conveniently slim. For what it's worth, I've always found rotating heads just something more to fiddle with; it seems more natural to me just to contort my wrist to get the meter pointing where it ought.
