M2 owners: Think of upgrading from original M

As the title says, I'm thinking of upgrading from the original EOS-M to the M2. Bought my M when they were being clearanced for cheap a few years ago. I have found it to be a good little backup to my 6D. I use it as when I need to take quick little shots, like for craigslist and ebay, where digging out my 6D would take too long. Also social events where a dslr would be too cumbersome.

Now with the prices of grey market M2's dropping, I'm considering selling my M and upgrading. I'm curious how others who upgraded how they like the M2. Was the upgrade worth it? Do you use the extra features like wifi much? How does the upgraded autofocus perform in day to day use?

To shoot down the obvious question, I'm not interested in the M3 or M10. I like the small form factor of the M and the M3 is larger than I care for from the chances I've had to play with one. The M10, while small, is a little too stripped down. I occasionally use the hot shoe with a 90EX or other flash.
