[OM] [OT] Flash vs. Auto light meters

I'm looking for a light meter, and don't know much about them.
What is the difference between a flash meter (such as the Minolta Flash
Meter IV)
and an auto meter (Minolta Auto Meter IV).  Is there a disadvantage
to buying a Flash Meter and using it for normal light photos?
Also, I assume that flash meters are incident rather than spot readings,
or does this vary with the brand of meter?
I imagine that I'll use the meter most for portraits where at least some
flash would be used.

Thanks in advance for the help, folks!

Mike
