Most would describe the "mamby pamby" schtick as belonging to the 
automated crowd, Danny.

I'm afraid that you're going to lose this battle in what *you* want in the 
M6. At least in your lifetime. Can't you get it "right" by yourself? Most 
M6 shooters do! IMHO, an M6 shooter is limited in speed and "rightness" 
only by their own skill, experience and dexterity; three attributes of 
the best photographers, not?
