Other compelling reasons
to consider:

Your clients and models will have more confidence in you as you command the lighting instead of building an exposure by going back to the camera LCD over and over.

Repeating a lighting scenario is easier if you know the relative difference in exposure between all of your light sources.

LCD screens are not always telling the truth - trusting it in darkness, versus shadow versus open sunlight will sometimes give you wildly different results.

Also imagine having fewer rejected photos due to exposure, how much time that would save you how much happier you will be to have more "great" photos to choose from during an edit session.

If you pay someone else to do your retouching, then you can save money by having them focus on retouching and not exposure mistakes.

Imagine spending on new lenses, a vacation or growing your business.
