The M6 TTL may look less pretty than the classic M6, but I find the following beneficial: - - larger shutter speed dial which is easier to grip and turn, - - extra metering LED enables more precise and faster metering, - - perfect flash exposure with TTL flash. I have had no problems using my Metz 32 MZ-3 and 40 MZ-3 flashes with my M6 TTL and M6 TTL HM. The electronics are fine and the exposures accurate. However, the 40 MZ-3 could be a bit too heavy for the M6 TTL top plate - it managed to knock the RF vertical alignment out of adjustment temporarily. My advice is stick to the Metz 32 MZ-3 for its lighter weight and bounce zoom head. The SF20 is over priced for what it offers and its need for lithium batteries could be tricky in certian parts of the world.
