Thanks for all the insights and onsights. Though I'm still torn between: "Do I need M3? Is he worth it?" and "V3 was such a quantum leap. Worth it in every way. So M3 must be as good as her." and "But it doesn't feel like it felt with V3. When she came out, I rushed to get her. Why did I not rush already to get M3?" Must decide before sale ends! Maybe the bumpmap will be reworked till then. (V3's neck is too long to. I always shorten it.)
