I bought my M6 Tit. from a friend. This friend let me tried the body during
a few weeks before selling it.
When I bought the camera, he kept the M grip as he wanted to put it on his
new M6 TTL.
I was first thinking : "I will have to buy a new grip, I am used to it".
Finally I didn't, there is no much differences, except if you want to shoot
with one hand.

On a Black M, the grip gives a really great look, but on my M6 tit.
(probably the same for a chrome body)
it's ok, but not  great.

You should try one before buying one, the upgrade is perhaps not $70 worth.
