Thank you all.
I am not a big fan of OTR because it is easy to reach a point where you cannot recover.
If you use ISO 200 you can easily shoot +0.7 exp and not lose highlights, since you can recover almost two stops. So it's pretty safe to do so, using normal judgement as to when to increase or reduce that as a baseline.
If you don't need the DR you can back off to ISO 100 to improve noise. Then you have to care more about overexposure.
With ISO 200 + overexposure you get more random noise (skies are slightly noisier for example), but fewer blotchy kinds of artifacts (especially because you are filling shadows a bit at time of exposure and not having to bring them up from base exposure as much).
One last note on this, is to export at -2.0 exp from SPP - then bring the images back into some other editor and raise exposure back up - then proceed to brighten shadows or do other editing. That can also help reduce any splotching in deep shadows.
Also to clarify my earlier post the reason it's not that dangerous is that you still have nearly a stop of headroom at +0.7exp so it's not that likely to really blow out highlights.
