M6 mark ii glass fits my budget. There are times I wish it had the VF included in the body, but have learned to live with it. I find the resolution fantastic, and even the 15-45 works quite well. I also find the Tamron a good 18-200 a good lens for hiking and wildlife, even though the reach is not there for good closeups. In the long run comparing the price of a body is easy, but when you look at the cost of good glass, the m series is a respectable compromise with the M6 mark ii giving you the best in resolution that rivals 5 year old ff resolution in a much lighter more compact carry.

One reason I bought into the M system in the first place was that it didn't have an EVF, as I had a balance disorder that made using an EVF impossible. I do have a residual degree of it that makes using some EVFs a very unpleasant experience. So I went through M, M3, M6 and then found that I can use Canon's EVFs in Smooth Mode. But I actually prefer the add-on finder of the M3/6/II - as a two-eyed shooter, it gives me better peripheral vision, and I can take it off when I want an even more compact package. With the M6 II having touch and drag AF, and me not being a huge flash user for personal stuff, it's a better solution for me than a built-in finder.
