Not likely.  In fact, the 6.2 was probably 
discontinued to make room for the M7/M6TTL 
overlap.  The real question is, how long will the 
M6TTL remain in production?

The only reason demand might go up is because 
Leica no longer makes a mechanical SLR and 
the collectors will want to grab a new one and 
stash it away, or buy and and sell it on eBay at an 
inflated price.

As for me, I'm a big advocate of buying used 
rather than new equipment.  So I exepect to see 
quite a selection of M6/M6TTL's appearing on the 
market as Leica fans flock to the M7. :-)
