Yes it is worth the extra $100. Keep in mind that it is much more than a
warranty, it covers various mishaps such as dropping the camera and all manner
of other abuse--in fact, everything as long as you have the camera (or at least
the piece of it with the serial no.).

It is cheap insurance, works out at $33 per year or about 2% of the value of the
M6.
