Thanks David - if it only would be a black chrome beater, I would be even happier.
Anyhow the chrome Leica M looks very, very nice and fashionable (which unfortunately defeats my purpose).
I think, I would be completely lost without an internal meter as with your new camera. I am too consumed by the fully automated latest DSLR tech {take personal note - try to change that}.
I still feel a bit confused by the average metering of the M6 - it seems very different from the meter in my Nikon FM3a or the center weighted meter in the Nikon DSLRs.

I use an incident meter with my meterless cameras. It is very easy.
Take a reading, and until the light changes you just use that reading (any shutter / aperture / iso combo to get you to that EV value). Adjust as necessary for backlighting, or if your subject is white (i.e. snow) or black (i.e. a briefcase). It is pretty simple really once you spend a bit of time with it. You can do it for sure!
