I really like the 50 finder too. Big and beautiful view. I picked up
the 35 way back in the seventies when I needed it for my M3. A few
years ago Solms put a viewfinder with the 35 framelines in my M3 so it
hasn't been used all that much.

I have a little pudging middle-age belt around my waist now. The 35
finder has sharp edges and digs into the fat :-)

Interesting about the M6. I feel pretty happy with my various bodies
now though. I'm more interested in upgrading some of my lenses. I
bought most of them new in the seventies.
