I think I’m torn between the m200 & the m50 mark ii.

Decisions, decisions…

Both the M200 and the M50II have just one dial, however, with the M50II you can assign a button to toggle functions of the dial.

When you're in M + auto ISO and the dial changes the aperture you can press that button so the dial changes the shutter speed. Press another time and the dial changes exposure compensation. With another press you're back at aperture again.

Sounds like a poor (wo)man's Fv mode.

In AV + auto ISO you can toggle between aperture and EC.

In TV + auto ISO you can toggle between shutter speed and EC.

With the M200 you can't do that.

So with the M50 you can change your settings without taking your eye from the viewfinder using your muscle memory. The M200 doesn't allow to use your muscle memory, you'll need the back screen a whole lot more.

You're using the back screen as a viewfinder all the time with the M200, but muscle memory still plays a part. It's quicker using the screen than programming an off-screen button to do the same job. And it still leaves that button free to do something useful.
