If you do NOT wear glasses, I'd recommend the high magnification M6.  I
personally feel that the .72 viewfinder isn't much good for lenses longer
than 50 (and that's a stretch).
Funny thing though, I never had a problem with the M2.  Maybe it's all those
cornerless frames cluttering up the M6 viewfinder.
