Yes, Metz auto mode is the same as Auto External Metering on the Canon.
Yes, I think Auto External Metering would work better than any TTL mode.
But Canon's 580EXII has one major disadvantage....the absence of a wink flash.
I have tried TTL on the 550EX and 580EX (worked great on the 5D, horrible on the 30D).
The auto mode of the Metz is far superior (imho) than any of the Canon flashes in TTL.
Auto External Metering is better, but still not as good or as flexible as the Metz (because of the absence of a wink flash).
