Russ, My first RB had the metered prism, and, to tell the truth, I seldom used the meter. In addition, when I was in the field I rarely used the prism at all, because of the extra weight. My current RB (which is for sale) has no prism, and I don't feel I've sacrificed anything. The meter adds a small amount of weight and dimension to the prism, but not overly so.
