I have the classic M6 and an M3. Up to 75mm the M6 is fine, but with the 90 and 135mm lenses I find the M3 superior. The HM M6 does not have quite the same magnification as the M3, but it should be close. The best thing is to go to a dealer and try both the classic and HM M6 with your favorite lenses.
