Remember Ted is a 3 camera shooter.  Anything less around his neck, and he 
would not know how to do the shoot!  ;-)  Hey Ted, Send one of those M's my

owning 3 M7s w/o using them sounds pretty stupid to me. Do you have any 
rationale reason of
holding on to them?  

I'll say sell the M7 right away. You should be able to get perhaps $2K for 
it. 
The 2nd hand price
may go up after July 1 with the US price increase.

Seems like a M6 and M7 is all you need. or even a single body.
