<< I'm looking to buy a M6.  I can get a new one for $2000 with the
 warranty, a grey market one for $1675 with a 90 warrenty, or a used one
 for around $1500 with a 14 day examination period.
 
 What's a boy to do?

Quite a dilemna, eh?   But, a good one!

It's been my experience that anytime that I compromise and settle for less
because of price I always become dissatified.  If you reallly want a black one
with the .85 viewfinder then stretch a bit and get it.  You'll never be sorry.
If you want a chrome one, don't stop until you find it.   There's just not
that much difference between a new one and a grey market or a used one.   If
you purchase a new one there will never be an issue of getting it serviced
from Leica.  If it were me, I would go for the new one.
