I would seriously kook at a waste leavel MF for inconsicuous street photography. C Bresson could get away with a leica because everybody else had bulky sheet film press cameras in his hay day. I've been caught out many times simply lifting the M3 to my eye. The old Rollei TTLs are worth a look at for this sort of photography. For sure, it can be done with a Leica M but you have to be very skilled (which I'm sure you are)an totally coversant with handing the Leica. If you haven't used one before it may take some time getting in the groove. Once you are there the money you spend will be worth it! Leicas are never a waist of money provided hardwear suits your style.
I must laugh a little over concerns on Leica prices. Here in the south pacific I will probably have to fork out about $Aus 6000 for an MP. And they are just as hard to earn as they are in the US.
Hope these suggestions are of help regards craig
