the M6TTL was chosen in my case because of the corrected shutter speed
progression in relation to the meter diodes and the larger shutter dial
that I can actually get a hold of. The MP screwed this part up.

Is the M6ttl so much more desirable than an ordinary M6?  Considering
that the TTL can only be used with the SF-20 and/ or some dedicated
Metz modules.  Considering equal conditions what should the difference
in price be between a M6 and a M6ttl?  I already have many thyristor
flash units and don't want to buy a SF-20.
