SDXC UHS-II speed: would the faster of these 2 cards be of benefit given no video in the M11?

I am getting a card for the M11D as Leica recommends a UHS II type.  One is V60, U3, Class 10 with Max Write speed of 150 MB/s and the other is V90, U3, Class 10 with max write speed of 260 MB/s but more than twice the price.   I don't usually shoot in succession or rapidly, take the card out and use my Mac Studio card reader.

I use many different cards and yes, I think the v90 clears the buffer quicker.

But most cameras limit the writing speed below the card can do.

But come cards have a buffer, fast in the first few images, then they slow down.

 I go by it once and am happy, ProGrade 256 v90

The major benefit would be a higher read speed for transfer to your computer.

Thank you Jaapv.  Do not need the extra speed for reading.

The slower card will take longer to backup memory (IN => SD).
