That leads me to guess the following:

   * Same shutter-speed dial (w. off-position) as TTL
   * Same case (2mm higher) as TTL
   * Same LED display w. centre dot as TTL

Wouldn't be surprised if that's all.  In other words: It's not about
making life easier for the M6 shooter, it's about bringing production
costs down by reducing proliferation of models.

They didn't say for *whom* the comfort was ;)
