I did exactly the same thing. I bought one of the last "new" chrome classic
M6's available on the west coast, to compliment my black classic M6. Color
in the black M6 and B&W in the black & chrome M6.

I don't use twinkie lights with my M6's. Only fast lenses and, if I have
to, fast film.

No use for the TTL and its size, battery drain, and reversed shutter knob
problems...  ;)
