Subject: Glass film pressure plate in M3

I need help for buying an M3:
The early M3 has film pressure plate made of glass instead of metal.
Are these M3's considered to be less desirable?
What is the reason for changing from glass to metal?
Do the screwmount bodies use glass pressure plates too?
Thank you in advance.
