If I take my shooting style with my M4-2 into consideration (very opposite to my digital workflow which is pretty much following Ted's KISS principle), I think I'll go for the solid, old style and handcrafted feeling of the MP. Very happy to have a meter in it, but not more than that. It 'll help me to think about my shots: a kind of pensative interludium from time to time, so to speak. And a wonderfull piece of sublime craftsmanship to pass from generation to generation, too.
