Anyone used the sekonic L308b & s versions?

I was just about to buy one that I thought was the S version but it turned out to be the B variant. Had a quick look online and can’t see what the difference is. Am I missing something obvious? Would anyone recommend one over the other?

Not a great deal of difference, The 'S' version is the later one, the LCD screen is slightly different and on power off the last reading is held, there may be other minor changes.

So they will both work the same way. I might just grab it then. Cheers mate.

From Wiki:

The Sekonic L-308S Flashmate was introduced in 2005[1]. It replaces the Sekonic L-308BII. It is nearly the same as the BII model but the LCD display has changed a bit. The display no longer offers the half circle icongraphy because the aperture can now display three digits and there is a dedicated battery level display. The shutter speed can now display in 1/2 and 1/3 stop. On power off, this revision also retains the measured value (EV or aperture).
