I do not say that there will not be M5 mark ii. But what if there is no M5 series any more? If it is the case, what would you choose?

- M50 series with EVF and articulated LCD but no many control dials or
- M6 series with many controls and flipped LCD but no EVF.

As an M5 user, I am torn between two.

I'm getting the M6 Mark II in the meantime.

for the most part it's "good enough" and since I have the EVF-DC1, I get a tilting EVF, which adds a little more benefit for when I want to take pictures lower to the ground, I can still use the EVF.

I'll miss the direct EC dial though, even though there sounds like there's multiple ways of quickly doing EC adjustments.

The M6 Mark II is around 850 bucks, I figure if the M5 Mark II comes out in 6 to 12 months I should be able to sell off my M6 Mark II for at least half of what I paid.

so that's in reality, around $35-$70/month of a lease price, which is fine for me.  I need some specific features in my EOS-M's that my current M5 does not have, so it's a mandatory upgrade before February of next year anyway.
