One thing to consider might be battery compatibility. The M50 uses the same battery as the M1, M2, M10, and M100. For me, carrying one set of batteries/charger when traveling would be easier/more convenient, especially if the second body is serving as a backup.

On ebay Japanese sellers offer M2's in excellent condition for under $200 delivered. When I had mine I found the AF system much better than the M1. Perfect for quick snaps with the 22 mm mounted.

Yes, I've found the M2 to not only have an improved AF system but additional features that made it a fun little camera to have.  I ordered mine from Japan for not much more than that including 2 zooms and a flash.
