There other suggestions available but they come with a very heavy price tag...
Once you get used to Manual I would say it's probably better the any other mode, after all the ambient light doesn't change much and that is all that matters, an incident light meter or take an exposure from a grey board or even grass would get you into the ball park.
A small object with a large bright background is a challenge for any exposure system.
Have you tried looking through your best pix and checking out the exposures? I would bet there won't be a big difference between them except for extreme lighting conditions.
