M10-r vs SL2

A friend asked any reason to buy M10-R instead of SL2. From the paper specs, SL2 has more capable features and the used price is about half. 

To me it is RF vs Mirrorless, more of taste, style, and emotional factors, but for people not attach to M, the consideration could be more rational and objective. 

What would you say?

The M is emotion, the SL-2 is rational

To me the 10-R is the best digital M. Technically mature, reliable and (sorry to all SL users) much more beautiful. But of course from the technical point of view, the SL-2 is much better.

The main reason to go for a M is easy: You want to have a M! You want to take photos with a rangefinder without the modern electronic features around it. That's all. That's enough.

I can't think of any image-related reason that is relevant. For me it would come down to AF vs MF, EVF vs OVF, size & weight, shutter priority exposure (if I want it), OIS (and IBIS in some lenses), video.

Plus weather proof and the SL zoom lenses. The M might be relevant from say 15-135mm, of you need less or more, it’s the SL.

I have both, and most often use the M10 Monochrom.  All three capable cameras, for different shooting experiences and circumstances.  Whatever suits one’s style and needs.

As eyes age, framing is more precise with an EVF.

My heart want M10-R, but my brain want SL2. 
I think for new comers, SL2 will win.
