What's to get used to ? The frames ? Personally, i like the lack of clutter in 
the M2 frame but it doesn't stop me from using my M4. I recently decided 
against buying an M6 because of the clutter issue and the fact that the 
in-camera meter would add to it. 
If you want precise focusing that is deathly quick, the M will outperform an R 
any day of the week.

i also had big problems using my M since i was coming from R system.
after some months,  i was finally able to work it and love the way an
M works, especially using wideangls.  i use my 21mm superangulon as
the standard lens.
my M is M4 working with a weston master V lightmeter.
enjoy your M!
