This is the one I'd go for. Like you said, it's small and quiet, and it
also has the best viewfinder magnification (not coverage), something in
the range of 98%, IIRC. This should be quite a help in low light.

I think the ME Super is quieter from what I remember, but I have neither
with me, so I can't say for sure. I don't think the viewfinder
magnification is as high as that of the ME Super, though.

True, there's no way to override the autorewind, unless you take the
batteries out before it can start. And I personally don't find the rewind
to be quiet. I also find its shutter to be louder than the ME Super's,
but that could be because of my preference for the pitch of the older
style, so YMMV.
