Re: Original M Owners: What body is a worthy upgrade?

I picked up the m100 with the 15-45 lens on sale over Black Friday.  I seriously considered getting a grey market m6 body for a little more on ebay, but was a little nervous about no warranty on a camera that hadn't been on the market for very long.  I intend to use it the same way I used the m, keep it in my purse with the 22mm on it.  Also, take it and the adapter with me on trips in case my DSLR dies.

After playing with it for a few hours, my first impressions are that the m100 focuses much faster and doesn't have the blackout between shots like my original m.  I also like the flip up screen on the m100.  I haven't connected it to my phone yet, but I'm sure it will useful.  I don't like the complete lack of grip on the m100, even the tiny one on the m was useful.  I'll have to stick some sugru or something on the m100 for a grip.  I'm nervous about going without a hotshoe, but the only time I ever used the hotshoe on my m was to see if it worked or not.  I'm not a fan of the layout of controls on the m100 (on/off button is tiny), but I think once I'm familiar with them, it will be OK.
