Spot metering tied to the centre might work ok when handholding, but it's useless when the camera's on a tripod. Beats me why Canon still reserve these kinds of software features just for the 1-series cameras. People buy those cameras for the hardware. Nobody's going to stump up another five grand just for a movable spot meter.

I’m sure it would be a relatively easy thing to implement.  And functionally it just makes so much sense.  Well, at least it works the logical way in other modes like evaluative.
