I agree with Frank's thoughts.  I do have an M3 and an M6 but, when the
rubber hits the road, I take the M6.  It is a more reliable camera, though
the M3 is a tough animal.  But the M3 was designed to be CLA'd annually,
while the M6 was designed to last for years between services. 

I like my M3.  But I love my M6 ... one bare service in 14 years, and
thousands of rolls through the gem.  Leica's don't get older, it is true,
they just get better -- but the M6 is the finest Leica RF yet made.
