Mark,

There is one major difference between the older and newer M6 models aside 
from the obvious external cosmetic ones.  The later cameras have an improved 
meter which has more sensitivity in lower light. It is easy to discern 
between old and new meters by observing the behavior of the LED's in low 
light.  The original M6 meter will not light the LED's in low or no light 
levels (inside your camera bag) whereas the newer M6's LED's will blink 
rapidly if the light level is below the metering threshold.  This will kill 
your batteries real quick!
