There is nothing logical or "sensible" in selling a camera or lens which is close to perfect, but then gear acquisition syndrome is seldom logical or sensible. It is a constant migration from one camera and lens to another. Personally I've passed through 25+ cameras and 100+ lenses. Happiness lies in the journey rather than in reaching any particular destination.

Leica MP (Type 240) V/S Leica M (Type 240): AI overview from Google search

AI Overview

The Leica M-P (Type 240) and M240 are very similar, sharing the same sensor, lens mount, and many features. The M-P is a more refined, "mechanical perfection" version, offering a different aesthetic, a slightly larger buffer, and a sapphire screen for the rear LCD, according to Wired and an anonymous Reddit user. The M-P also lacks the red dot logo on the front, according to WIRED.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the differences:
M-P (Typ 240):
Aesthetics: More refined, with a matte finish and a cleaner look.
Buffer: Larger buffer for faster continuous shooting and a larger write buffer.
Screen: Sapphire glass screen for the rear LCD.
Red Dot: Lacks the traditional red dot logo on the front.
Resale Value: Generally fetches a higher resale price due to the lack of the red dot, according to a Reddit user.
Frame Selector: May have a frame selector switch, similar to film M's, according to a YouTube video.

M240:
Aesthetics: More traditional Leica aesthetic with the red dot logo.
Buffer: Smaller buffer, potentially leading to slower continuous shooting, according to a Reddit user.
Screen: Standard LCD screen.
Red Dot: Features the traditional red dot logo on the front.
Overall: The M-P (Typ 240) is the more refined, collector's edition version of the M240. While the M240 is a great camera in its own right, the M-P offers a few key upgrades in aesthetics, buffer size, and display protection. The choice between the two depends on individual preferences and priorities, with the M-P being a more premium option for those who value its aesthetics and features.
