Hi Richard,

I've owned both and liked the CLE the best because it has the 28 frame. 
Set on hyper focal distance combined with the AE and TTL you get the 
most sophisticated P&S around.
But on my first CLE the electronics stopped, on my second the VF was too 
dim, a cla didn't help. The CL is lying somewhere in the cupboard.
Bottom line for me is that a M6 is the most versatile and not that big 
after all.

Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
