If you have the chance to keep the M1 till the M2 arrives it would be GRATLY appreciated if you could do a side to side comparison!
Beside the NFC and the Multipoint (which imo is more important than the NFC, i would not know when I should ever use the NFC, are you sure that you do not confuse it with ANC?), the M2BT has got a new DSp which supposedly should give it a better soundstage, and it also reaches the 7hz instead of the 17 of the M1, so it SHOULD have an even deeper bass.
I could not compare them side to side, but I did not notice any real difference, so I am very curious if you will notice anything...
Going down to 7hz will not make any difference to the bass at all. Human hearing doesn't go that low. If you hear something when playing a 7hz test tone there is something wrong with your equipment or there is serious distortion going on (I'm taking about you hearing it yourself not the equipment that can feel it picking it up).

NFC is mainly useful as an initial pairing method. Rather than holding down the pairing button and waiting for it to show up on the phone you just tap the phone (the part where the NFC chip is located) to the ear cup with the NFC and watch them pair automatically. Its usefulness after initial pairing depends on how good your headphones are at remembering paired devices or how many devices you use them with. If the headphones can remember the device then NFC is only slightly faster than waiting for them to automatically reconnect provided the NFC connection actually works straight away (often you need to move the phone a bit around til it works). If the headohones can't remember paired devices or you use so many devices in a particular order that the headphones can't remember the device when you want to reconnect then NFC is quite handy.
