If I liked it as much as an M6TTL, yes, I'd buy it. If my track record is 
anything like it is with the Nikon F3, however, I'd be using it on manual 
the same way as I do now most of the time. So if having AE compromised 
how the controls worked or felt by any significant amount, I'd probably 
not want it.

After all, that's why I sold off my Contax G2 kit and went back to a 
Leica M.
