I totally love my M2.  Actually, it's an M1 that was rebuilt into an M2
which means it doesn't have the self-timer or the frame preview knobs
on the front. Personally, I love this: it gives it wonderfully clean
lines and uncluttered appearence, and I never use the ST and have
a 35mm permanently mounted on it.  The simple VF which only shows a
single frameline (35, 50 or 90) at a time is absolutely great.  No
red LEDs to distract in low light situations.  It is everything a Leica
rangefinder should be! ;)

Whoops, sorry Guy: guess you're gonna have to find a nice M2 now >;-)
