If you can put either a 0.85 finder or a 0.72 finder in the same sized
M6TTL, I see no reason that the .72 finder could not have accommodated in a
M8 or M9 as a 0.72 finder, thicker body or not.
If they had put in the 0.85 module, the finder would have been .... ( Math
time out...) .68/.72 *.85= 0.80
Maybe the M8/M9 issue was time to market, and getting it done quickly,
using available finder designs and mechanisms, therefore the shortened .68
finder..
Maybe the Elves will offer different finder options in the future.

The M9 finder is the good old 0,72 in a deeper body = 0,68.
