I am surprised it took Pentax so many years to offer matrix metering in TTL flash mode. I still remember my sold F801s had spot, centre-weight and matrix modes for TTL flash. The first thing I noticed when I bought the Z-1p was that the manual said nothing about this.

P-TTL uses matrix metering, so in theory, it should give better results
when center weighted metering could be fooled.  And in case of *ist, it
can give priority in the matrix metering area corresponding to the focal
point.  Off centered subjects is one example where P-TTL should be better.

Other reasons for P-TTL: multiple wireless TTL flash, high-speed sync
TTL flash and flash exposure compensation.
