The M3 + 50 has better resale value and so will go a long way to help with
your financial dilemma, and you will still have the G1 and three useful
focal lengths to enjoy your photogrphy with. The G1 has AF and AE, which I
find very useful with aging eyes and obviously a separate exposure meter at
this point in time will be an additional financial burden (since the M3
does not have a meter). Guessimation is one thing but a built in meter is
a major convenience.
When times are better you can still find another M3 and 50 lens which are
available in abundance.
