You want a Leica OM1? I'm not so ham-handed, and I've never
handled an R6, but it looks like a reasonably sized camera to me.
The downsized SLRs seem a bit delicate.

	--> Maybe a new R4 ?
	Personally, I fantasize a Pentax MX / Nikon FM2 /
	Yashica FX3 Super / Olympus OM1 sort of size.
	Not the ridiculous Nikon F4 that startled
	me the first time I saw one "live".
	The size of a Leica R6.2 with integrated motor drive
	and auto-bracketing could get interesting.

	--> How about a Leica CLE revival on the M side ?
	Something half the size (& weight) of a Leica M would be
	wonderful, to my tastes.
