Leica M7 Serial Numbers Year

I'm new to the Leica community and there's something I do not clearly understand. It looks like (I may be wrong) that people looking for a recent M camera do prefer the M6 over the M7. I have this feeling because most of the posts I read here (and elsewhere) are less about the M7 than the M6.

If I'm right about this, can I ask you why? Price? Technology? Availability? Look'n'feel? Weight?

To be honest, I bought a M7 on ebay some weeks ago. My reasoning was the model is more recent, so should be easier to use and/or repair if any issue with it.

Thanks! Fabian
