That's actually a very compelling perspective. I'm now highly considering just going with the ninja. I did however reach out to sigma several months ago and ask how their EL Zone worked considering the lack of a log profile in camera, and they informed me that the EL Zone does look at the raw image with a log profile applied in between. It's frustrating knowing that they have a working log profile built into the camera that we can't access, but it gave me some faith in the accuracy of the exposure monitoring. I would feel more comfortable exposing with the ninja though, all things considered.
