I've had one of these for several years, and it's very good, but it does have some quite serious drawbacks, and I now rarely use it, although it's useful as a manual backup.
The main disadvantage is that you have to use a slide to cope with 'extremes' of light - ie, outdoors in daylight, or indoors or low light. The slides are easily lost, although I admit I've never lost one, and difficult to replace; at least, I haven't been able to get a spare. Also, the material the slides are made from is quite soft, and the place where the slide attaches to a kind of clippy thing on mine has now broken, so it's slow, difficult and quite painful to get the slide out once it's in.
Finally, the dome is also detachable so you can replace it with a flat thing and other little bits & pieces, but again, these could easily all get lost. In contrast, modern meters have a retracting dome.
