Travelled with a tlr once, for a week long holiday around new years in Berlin. It was a bit of an impulsive choice, and although it was accompanied by a dslr and 50mm-equivalent prime. I toted it everywhere, and while I did not find the weight an issue, I favour cameras I can either keep near at hand in a pocket, or that can be slung across my body with a strap and rest out of the way at my side to be called upon at need. In this regard, I did not like the tlr as much as an M, but my travels tend to be for the travel first, and photography second, and also dislike torturing those I am with, by taking an age to take a shot.
I can only speak from my experience, and everyone elses will be their own. The main thing I would say is to bring cameras you are comfortable using, as that way, you will have a good idea if you will travel well with you. Otherwise, take a second camera you know you will use, if your intended camera proves too awkward.
