Subject: [Leica] M6 meter

I'm new to the list and relatively new to Leica, so please forgive the
rather dumb question.
I currently own a IIIa, and want to get an M. The meter in the M6 is
compelling, but the only info I can find on the metered area is that it is
"selective". Is this somewhere between spot and centerweighted? If it is
more spot, by the time you figured what is 18% gray in the scene, wouldn't
it be just as quick to use a handheld and get a much less expensive
M2,4-2,4P,? Any feedback is welcome.
