Olympus XA - Great Camera, but have Questions

I got my "new" Olympus XA today. I'm already a big fan as it will fill a void in my gear: a high quality camera that fits in my pocket. I foresee me carrying and using this a lot when I don't feel bringing a larger camera.

However, I have a couple questions:
  1. The rangefinder patch is generally hard to see, and is impossible to see in lower light. Is there a way to better this?
  2. While the meter seems reasonably accurate, is the meter accurate enough to reliably use slide film with its +1/3 stop tolerance?
