I am going to add few of my observations:

  1. M6 mk II is too small for large lenses
  2. I need builtin viewfinder
  3. RF is where all the interesting development is happening at the moment

but these are my reasons for not getting M6ii, I own the old M6 and I am going to use it and M3 until it breaks down.

A wise pro photographer taught me

lenses first -- figure out the lenses you need first -- lenses are the art makers

then after you figure out your lens road map -- figure out your bodies

Not all of us are professional photographers.  Some of us are just casual photographers.  For me, it's more important to have the camera with me at all times hence the importance of size and weight.  My M100+22mm is always at arms reach.  I'll sacrifice some of the photo quality for portability.  I like to take random shots of every day things that I find amusing.  I can't carry a camera bag with me my entire waking hour.

If I'm a professional photographer then yes, photo quality will be my main priority over size.  It would be a different story.

It's like arguing what is best, cars vs. trucks vs. SUV vs. motorcycle.
