I can understand not having exposure compensation in evaluative mode because you would never know what parts of the image were affecting the metered value (or what the camera's algorithms were doing to match the readings from the various parts of the scene with it's database of image data) in order to compensate, although you could guess. I find the option to see what the difference is between the evaluative measurement and the spot (or centre weighted, I cannot remember right now) measurement very useful as you can quickly see if backlighting or other factors are radically affecting the exposure.
Then again I almost always use spot as I predominantly use slide film, so I want to be within the 1/2 stop latitude that slide film gives me.
I am sure you will love the quality of the images that you produce. I remember getting my first roll developed and I was just amazed at the sharpness, colour and quality of the 24-85mm lens, with perfectly exposed images from the accurate N meter.
I hope you will be scanning and sharing some of your first roll for us to see
