Yes quite agree - you need your images right away.  The M6 prices are out of 
this world.  It is because it has a cache that drive up the price.  
Personally I much prefer my M7 as it shoots in aperture priority whereas the 
M6 is essentially a shutter priority camera.  The other camera that has 
similar cache is the Contax G2 - Lenses are fantastic but the body is a 
little noisy for me.
