MP & Thumbs-Up?

I’m wondering how easy it would be to use the film advance lever with that thumb grip attached. 
 

I find the thumb grip handy on the M10-P but wouldn’t even think to use one on my M6. I think weight is a factor with the M10-P. The dimensions to the M6 are very similar, but the weight and balance feels quite different.

My thoughts as well, intreaged to ask this question as never seen before. Works better in theory seems the replies suggest.

Film advance lever are the best thumbs up. No need to add another one. It would get into the way. 
Every digital M should have one build in. Just like the awesome M10-D.

     ...I just spilt my coffee, Ourosboros - and I hold you responsible. Thus, you will shortly be receiving my dry-cleaning bill.😬

just a wee note...the Barnett Thumbie is a better solution as much more discrete and no strain on hotshoe....personally I used one on an M240 to cover for the lack of film advance lever but on my MP...no need for anything, film lever does what it needs to!
