Though the adjustment of distance is more easy (and precise) resulting from the M3's slightly larger RF base, you miss the M6's exposure control specially under (very) low light conditions, where half an f-stop may decide on color rendition (i.e. in dark or shadow areas). Additional plus: the M3's more soft release button mechanism helps to hold the camera sufficiently steady even at 1/4 or 1/2 sec (with a little training). The same is valid for the M2.
