I have an M2 and a M6TTL. In my opinion the M2 has the better finder 
and the M6TTL much better ergonomics and the built in meter/TTL flash 
is a hard to beat. I once got to use an M6 and hated the small shutter 
speed dial, which unlike the large one on the TTL, I found difficult to 
adjust while trying to make a shot. Maybe the perfect M is a black 
paint M6TTL with the MP finder and M2 framelines...
