Try an M5 before you buy anything...

Second the .58 M6, but only if you normally use wide lenses. A 75/90 can be
a b*tch to focus wide open due to the .58's short RF base.

What, you mean to tell me these things don't have Auto-focus?
What kind of over-rated and over-priced POS are these? That's it , the deal is off!

Seriously, I do appreciate the opinions but the consensus still seems to be with an M6 (with or without TTL flash).
I think an M6 is where I will start to look for now as I mentioned earlier. I have lots of cameras with very good TTL flash (and some I can actually see through the lens with as well!) so I am not going to worry about that feature. It sounds like the M3, while a very good camera, is quite expensive and marginally harder to use.
Thanks again to the group for the input. Thank goodness a few of you were able to voice a few mild mannered opinions on a delicate subject.
