For about AU$200 you can get a new Sekonic L-308 off ebay which is a decent 
all purpose meter with reflective, incident & flash metering capabilities. 
I have one of these and it's good enough for my needs. I would like a 
L-358, or better yet L-558, but because I only shoot digital nowadays the 
use to cost ratio poo poo's that purchase.

I don't think you should limit yourself to just a reflective meter, unless 
you go the spot meter option.
