...yeah, but Seth, Roy was notoriously conservative in any tolerance towards
change with Leica models. Personnaly I have M2s, M3, M6TTLs and they are
equally well made IMHO. Some people have complained that the M6 has some
plastic parts compared to the M2/3/4 metal parts -- plastic? so what? There
are plastic parts on the space shuttle and the Corvette body is plastic.
