I forgot to mention that I got the DC2 EVF for free bundled with my M6ii. I have since bought the DC1 EVF for under $100 used because I like the fact that it can rotate upward which is very useful when doing astrophotography. That's another thing that the built-in EVFs can't do (as far as I know).

I find the ability to choose whether to use the DC1, DC2 or no EVF preferable to the built-in one on the M50. The only drawback that I'm aware of wrt the detachable EVF is that you can't use the hot-shoe for anything else when the EVF is attached.

That's not the only downside for me. When you like to have your EVF attached permanently your camera is also bigger. That external EVF sticks out significantly further than an integrated EVF. Removing it when putting in the bag and attaching it before shooting all the time is cumbersome.

Well there’s a pretty solid percentage of us who actually prefer to use the back LCD instead of an EVF (one of the reasons I so love the M6ii’s ultra-fast tilting screen   ).

Personally I believe that using the LCD promotes creative photography (or at least more creative angles).  It’s also a benefit with many other aspects of my own photography.
