The auto sensor is older technology and more universal.  I find that it 
works just as well as TTL flash with a single direct flash, and certainly 
with print film the differences would be impossible to discern.  I use TTL 
flash mainly because I like to bounce and/or use doodads or multiple 
flashes and vary the exp comp dial.  That's the beauty of TTL flash.

I think your assumption would be correct for everything except an OM-2S[P] 
with the old wiring.
