That's the first time I've ever heard of a VF being
too large!
A few weeks ago I was preparing my MX for some low light shots but the meter seemed to have stopped working
. Anyway, in the process I compared the VF to the ME Super's and, despite being smaller, the ME Super's was slightly brighter and easier to focus. I haven't directly compared them in daylight though.
Either of those would be a fine choice. I tend to use the ME Super in manual mode though, as I find the Av mode very twitchy and I don't like it to change the settings at the last moment.
I would also recommend the P30 or P30N, which are often ignored because they don't have the traditional old camera look or shutter sound, but are great cameras with excellent viewfinders. They're also very common and cheap. The N (and T, I think) offer Av & P modes in addition to M.
