Portability is of course still slightly to the M series camp. But the RP with 50mm 1.8 isn't that bad in terms of portability as well,

“Not that bad” (RP), and “Excellent” (M6ii) are on 2 different levels.

You missed the part about "with 50mm 1.8"

Once you add the lenses, there is not much difference in size and only 2 grams difference in total weight

RP+RF 50mm f/1.8 vs. M6 II+EF-M 32mm f/1.4

You can't speak of a "bokeh quality to weight ratio," however, at the same weight I know what I prefer for my complex back grounds.

If "bokeh quality" is a primary consideration, then the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 should be the choice over either of these Canon options.

True, but that's not a free lunch, as it's a bit out of balance as it comes to other IQ aspects wide open.

speaking of IQ

In the IQ section of Bryan's m32 F1.4 review (the digital picture site), he compares the M32 to one of the most impressive IQ lenses on the planet, the EF 200 mm F2 L..

Like us, he is in awe --" the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 lens performs similarly to a lens costing over 12 times more."

"Take a great general-purpose focal length, pack it into a well-built, compact package, deliver impressive image quality, sell it at a relatively low price point and you have a winning combination. That succinctly sums up the Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM Lens. This is a very impressive piece of kit even without the tiny size, light weight and low-price factored in."

"It is worth buying an also-impressive and affordable little EOS M-series camera just to use this lens with. For a simple kit, it may be the only camera and lens needed and even professionals may find this combo a great backup option."

for me, it is just this -- a simple light weight kit, and sometimes all I need.

and at other times a great backup option

Yeah, it's a balance, but no matter how well that balance of the 32mm is, I agree with nnowak the bokeh of the Sigma 30mm is a bit more smooth and pleasing.
