yes you'll have tremendous fun. I bought a Program Plus becuase it was attached to a SMC-A 28mm lens. I love that focal length. I think in most ways the Super Pgm is supposed to be better yet? (I won't look this up, but I think the Super pgm is also a K-A camera, so the lens is probably a K-A, which means a bonus for you: you have full metering/exposure automation on your K20D!)
Metering is fine, you just have to understand weighted averaging, remember the sky, use exposure comp etc. I find these cameras very reliable and robust. Knock on wood, I haven't had problems with any of my elecronic shutter cameras of that era.
BTW, there are a lot of advantages to these cameras, even for master piece works and sports photography. They are smaller/lighter than DSLRs, and once used to one they can be operated very quickly indeed (it's so automatic for me, sometimes I fumble for the advance lever on motorized / digital cameras!) and there's no AF lag.
Go for it! (Check prices on a SMC-A 28mm lens - it alone should be worth the entire package, or even more, the way ebay works... in other words, you might be able to talk down the price a bit...)
