A fine choice!  But do not forget the Russian KMZ clone of the Prewar Carl
Zeiss Jena 436/70 viewfinder.  The Zeiss design has been "flipped" for use
on Leica bodies, and covers 28mm to 135mm, for those of you who find the
M2/4/6's frame-lines too small for framing with 90mm or 135mm lenses.  And
the best part is that this item, though of the first water optically,
generally sells for less than $100.  Oh, and it has parallax correction, too.
