I'm in the market for an M6.
I don't foresee myself using flash, so not having the TTL flash is of no concern to me.

Leica SF 64 TTL flash for Leica cameras - in box with all orignal papers The SF 64 is one of the world’s most powerful compact flash units. Its high guide number of 64 at ISO 100/21° and a motor zoom for excellent flash coverage with focal lengths from 24 to 200 mm illuminates every subject. Since I was offered a Leica CF flash for a very good price, I thought about posing the. Just want to know if I can use a CF flash with my M6TTL.
My concerns lie in the ergonomic differences of the cameras, mainly the Shutter Speed Dial. I know the reg M6's knob is smaller than the TTL's. I am a large human and therefore I have very large, but not fat, hands.
Will I have trouble turning the Shutter Speed Dial while the camera is raised to my eye?
I no longer use my Nikon F2 because I have this exactly problem with it, I have to pinch the dial with my index and thumb to turn it, instead of using my index to simply scroll the dial. I have the same fear with the M6.
Would I be better off with a TTL or possibly an M7 for this reason?

Also, is the meter in the reg M6 a pain to use? I know it only has the two symbols (<>) compared to the TTL's three (<o>). How does that work in the reg M6? Is it simply when both symbols are displayed (<>) your exposure is correct? Do they tend to flicker a bit with the correct exposure?
Will I be able to live with these things that are worrying me now? Or should I just cough up the extra $500 or so for a TTL?
