Michael:

I would not update the M5 finder either. I have an M4 (among others) and
the finder is much nicer overall than the M6. The extra lines does cause a
lot of clutter.

I must admit that it (the M6) is a little easier to use with the 75
Summilux but I purchased a Voigtlander 75mm BL finder for using the Summi
on other bodies and it is very nice. Used, it was only $125 and well worth
the money.
