Not having used a Metz, every flash I have ever used has behaved more like the AF360FGZ. Basically because the settings were all on mechanical switches that couldn't be set from the body. If you look at a Pentax AF280T or AF400T, you will see this type of unit. Most older flashes were like that, Vivitar, Sunpak, etc.
