If you've never used a Viso, you really cannot evaluate the utility of the
system.  

The Viso offers infinity focus, of course, and allows mirror lock-up and
DOF preview and, with an M6, VF light-meter LED's.  It does not offer
selective AND average metering but the original query was comparing an SL
to a Viso, and the SL certainly did not offer both.

Try it, you'll like it -- and the M6 is a light, small camera with all of
the virtues of the RF system, with the added utility a Viso affords.
