I bought an as-new titaniumized M-6 (still had the folded up strap) for 
that very amount. I just let pass a like-new black M5 on ebay (I'm getting 
antsy because my current M5 is still getting DAGed). The feel of the M6 
next to the Cosina-type bodies is hugely different. The M6 seems to have 
solid, unibody construction.
