Or, more generally, an M6 without a battery........

The real difference between an M4-2 or M4P with the 28 frame lines and an M6
( classic, not the TTL) without a battery is the age.

After that, it is pretty meaningless.....

The TTL has a "backwards speed dial, which is only confusing if you have
both.... otherwise, throw in the TTL as the same basic utilitarian
purpose.....

Remember, that an M4 of ANY designation can never have a built in battery
function.  An M6 without a battery, can always have a battery ( and
therefore a Meter) installed for about $5.

Are you really that good about guesstimating your exposures?  Or do you use
an external meter?

It's not a M4. It has a 28mm frame. Which makes it much more useful then 
a M4 IMHO. It's more like a M6 without the meter.
