2000 USD is very high for a used M6.  Current Shutterbug ads show a typical
new price of $1995 for regular M6, and 2095 for the HM variety.

For 90mm lenses, I find the HM to be a BIG advantage over the .72 version.
Focusing seems much easier for all lenses, especially if you go back to the
old version after using the new one for awhile.
