At 6400/-4 in a dark bar it gets pretty nasty, but I almost never switch from 100 and -1.3 (I thought it was -2, but I was wrong...shows how often I change that!) so it's really a nonissue. I really hate the abrupt clipping when digital highlights blow out, and it seems that even the most sophisticated matrix metering tends to wipe out a lot of the sky. For a shot where I'm taking the time to think or watch the histograms, and definitely with film, nothing beats correct exposure - but I'm willing to compromise a wee bit for convenience's sake most of the time.
