Hmm. Contax does a black-painted edition of the Contax G2 and T2. It's a
beautiful black lacquer finish which is more expensive than the black
anodized finish on most cameras, and costs more as a result. Don't know
what finish Leica is using, but the price premium is more a reflection of
a special edition than the fancy finish. 

If you want the most bang for the buck, take the cheapest M6TTL they
offer. It's functionally identical. If you want a special edition with
fancy finish, pay extra for it.
