 M seems to be much sharper, more contrast and so on. >>
Are you shooting the same scenes, same film and getting these results?
If you are keep the M6 and put the RE away for awhile.  As for the RE vs
Nikon, you will definately not like the feel of the camera, more plastic.  The
optics are good but will not equal that of the M6 and if you manually focus
the AF Nikors, the helix will feel like there is no resistance.  
If you can, rent a 100 APO Macro and try it out, as for the Novoflex try a 350
f4.8 Telyt or 280F4 APO Telyt instead.  I am sure you will be happier with
these lenses.
