I don't really know how good the Kenkos are of course, but I am a little weary about their pricing, considering the (extremely good) alternatives. I would honestly suggest to maybe return it and exchange it for either a Gossen or Sekonic.
If you only want a flashmeter, it would be Sekonic L-308S Flashmate or Gossen Digiflash if you only want a flashmeter and nothing else, a Sekonic L-358 if you want to control your flashes too, a Sekonic L-758D or DR, or Gossen Starlite (1 or 2) if you want an allround meter, and the Sekonic again if you also want to control your flash with it. The transmitter for the flash with Sekonic may be extra, certainly for the L-308S.
