So Perhaps we should refer to a regular old NonTTL M6 as a 'STANDARDM6' as
opposed to "classicM6" ?

Well said, Mark! The
black paint M6 Leica is hyping/offering through the LHSA is,
to some extent, BS,
for the M6 is not in the same league as the earlier Ms
regarding internal
parts, external finish, and overall appearance. It is, though,
a slick means by
which Leica yearns to add additional revenue to its bank account
beyond sales of
standard equipment.
