Ben (and group),
I'm told by VERY reliable sources that the new cameras are not built to the
same level of specification or tolerances of the M2,3,4,5s of Wetzlar.
That's not to say they aren't more feature laden, etc., but reliability,
down the road is like to be less.

ps - I own an M6 and M5 (and love M4-Ps), so, quite frankly, I'm not swayed
by the issue, one way or the other.
