The Sekonic L-398 has been used to calibrate digital meters, thats how accurate that is. Over several years I've used many meters, and though the older ones are not as accurate per se, if calibrated properly to begin with, they haven't let me down. I've used Weston Master, Sekonic L-398, and a Russian model that I can't remember at the moment. The Weston and the Sekonic performed flawlessly, and I loved them most for being battery free.
No need to upset the wife, buy something cheaply, that works, and enjoy it. PM me if you need any guidance at all about using these meters....though I feel some others on here would exceed my levels of experience. Try if you can, to buy a meter that works, for less than £20.oo. Personally, I've bought and used stuff that I can fully recommend from MarriottWorld, FFordes, MrCad, and VintageCameras. I've never bought from MWClassic, but they seem very professional.
