Do you know that the mechanical tolerances are higher on the 3 than the 6? The materials better, so there is less wear over time...etc.? Has anyone actually measured the accuracy of the M3 vs M6 viewfinders over a few samples (one sample is just not a valid test) to check the claim that the M3 is 'better'? I, for one, really don't care which one IS better, but I'd like to see some facts (surprise! ;-). If it's personal opinion, it's probably better stated as such, instead of it coming across as fact...
