To change the EV compensation on the Nikon you need to hold down the EV and turn the dial. Takes too long.

With current firmware options, the only suggestiond I can offer is (as previously mentioned) exposure adjustment on raw converter or bracketing and ditching 2 shots.

If the bracketing function was capable of a 2EV range it would waste just 1 shot...but at moment (on my D3 at least) its a max on 1EV.

I have often wondered why the bracketing ON/OFF wasnt a firmware based operation that could be put on the Customs setting.

So for example.... the Fn buttom might be assigned to Bracketing on and off ...rather than just Bracketing Burst.

The way it is at the moment where you have to physically switch bracketing on and off witht he range settings is too slow....and leads to you forgetting bracketing has been left on!!!!
