Not throwing anything here.
Personally I think the M series just looks more "old tractor like".
Subjective of course, but I think it really all depends one what you grew up with. I'm willing to bet that most people of age to be buying old tractors "just for fun" are probably also of roughly the same age bracket to consider an M "old" and a 400 "new" (obviously not everybody).
That makes the M more collectible. Maybe that'll change as 400's become "old" to the up and coming generation.
(I'm sure 10-15 or so years ago it would have been more between the F's and the letter series for most people)
If I'm going to buy an "old" tractor, it's more for sentimental reasons than as a functional machine. I love the f series, but I don't remember them in use. So for me, an F is a curiosity - but an M brings me back to my younger days.
If I were deciding between the two for USE I'd go 400 without a second thought - but buying it for the love of old tractors - the M is where it's at for me.
