I have seen this service available on the net for about 600-700 dollars. You will not be able to change the brightlines in the finder unless you change the magnification of the finder itself, and the M6J/M6hm finder is a higher magnification. It will make the 90mm frame lines "larger" in your view finder, but also eminate the 28mm setting. For all the money this will cost you could pick up a "user" M3, which will have a larger finder image.
