It was a toss-up between the L358 & the L308s which is the meter I was more familiar with having used it regularly at College.
Having said that I was glad I went for the '358' and feel it was definitely worth the extra coin, as I had a sneaking feeling that at some point in the future I would have needed the extra functions of the '358'(such as radio trigger compatability), and then being faced with having to fork out again.
My one worry with the 358 was whether it would be over-complicated, as tends to be the case with these type of things, as manufacturers cram in as many functions as possible to keep one step ahead of the competition. But I needn't have worried because even though the 358 is feature packed these features don't get in the way of normal operation & it is simplicity itself to use.

Fantastic tool. Essential if you do studio work or portraits. My in-camera meter is good but the light meter is better. I own a D700 and have found that mixing flash with ambient lighting, especially outdoors, messes up my exposure, or at least I have to "experiment" a bit before I get good results. I would get this over the 308. It meters for flash and has the dual ISO buttons which means you can take a reading and get a reading for indoors (ISO 800 for example) and outdoors (ISO 200 for example) from a flick of the button. Illuminated screen and twisty head are ace. The little leather pouch it comes in is fab. I'm very surprised not to see more 5-star reviews. Great bit of kit. Highly recommended. If you're old school, you won't have any doubts. If, like me, you're from the DSLR revolution you may need some convincing. Trust me, buy this meter, do some tests and you'll know exactly what I mean. The light meter rules.

Wasn't quite sure if I'd use this meter before I bought it as I was very happy with the meter on my Nikon D700. Well, after a short period of familiarising myself with the meter, I don't think I'll bother with my camera's meter any longer.
This little unit is superb, particularly if you add the Pocketwizard module to it - it just totally takes the work out of calculating lighting ratios for strobist work. I can trust completely the readings the Sekonic gives me and my histograms have never been better.
My only regret is that I didn't pick one of these up earlier. If you are even thinking of buying one of these, stop thinking.... just get one. You won't regret it!

Great light/flash meter. But watch out for the region setting.

Great!
I decided to buy the L358 over the L308 which I had used at college. The L358 is easier to use and has a couple more functions on, like the ability to have two ISO settings. Read more

Great!
I bought this on a recommendation. Glad I did. It's a breeze to operate and have used it for both studio flash and natural light time-exposures (mainly at night).
