Arnold,
Don't feel left out as the M5 is a fine camera and I had three of them and only
got rid of them because I didn't like the feel compared to the M4's which I had
previously owned.

The M6, in my opinion is a better feeling camera in the true design of the M
series. The M5 and M6 have internal metering, although the M5's  can be more of
a problem due to the moving sensor before the film is exposed, however if you
don't beat the camera up it shouldn't give you any problems. Mine never did and
I used them on a day to day work use.

Look at it this way, at the moment you have a better collector item than the M6!
