No, "to have the edge" means to be better, though not by much. > I'm little a bit confused about all answers. So, whcih one produces > better picture?

In this case, judging from the comments in Stan's site, it is justified to go for it if you don't mind the (slightly) extra weight/size. As for the built in hood, they are never worth it, in my opinion. I have the clip-on hood for the K and it has a nice feel; I bet it is also longer than the built-in of the M, while not vignetting.
