Thanks for a very thorough write-up.

One thing I certainly find odd is your opinion on the fully articulating screen. I personally find the tilting screen of the m6 is the way to go for my use cases. That being child/people photography.

for situational awareness - yes the tilt screen

That is exactly the use case where I hate a standard tilt screen. They are utterly worthless when shooting in portrait orientation.

I find it way faster and easier to adjust the tilting screen than the fully articulating screen.

for speed, yes the tilt screen

While the fully articulating screen is slow to deploy, I would usually just leave it flipped out and then could easily switch between landscape and portrait orientation. However, my favorite, and the fastest option, is the dual axis tilt used on some Fuji, Panasonic, and Nikon bodies.

For movies on a tripod - yes the articulating screen
