 IMO, it's only a matter of time until the big two- C & N - phase out their 
OVF SLRs  and go over to  full frame EVF bodies able to accept legacy 
lenses. The production cost advantages of removing the expensive optical 
system are too great to ignore. Sony has already gone down this path.

I agree.  One disadvantage the M has is the narrow throat of the M mount. 
With the longer Visoflex lenses this causes mechanical vignetting.  It may
be somewhat less a problem on the New M that with an old Visoflex because
the constricted plane is closer to the image plane.
