I have an M6, M4 and M2 and use the M2 more than the others. I think it is
because of the simple, uncluttered viewfinder. It has lines for the 35, 50
and 90mm lenes but only one set of lines is visible at a time. I find it
less distracting.

The M6 is great when I don't want to be bothered with with carrying a
separate meter. The M4 has the finest undefinable "feel" of the three.
