The distortion of the Q2 Summilux is well known, and your use of the 35mm crop mode (I use it also at times) mitigates the distortion a bit, but also reduces your pixel count a bit, too. So, if you're planning on shooting an actual 35mm lens on a 24MP pixel camera (M10), you're getting your 24MP, while on the 47MP Q2 you're getting around 30MP. The diff between 24MP vs. 30MP isn't a deal break diff (imo).
Move the bar to a 50mm lens vs. 50mm crop mode and you're around 24MP vs. 15MP.
So, if you aren't using the Q2 at 28mm to get the full 47MP, the difference to the 24MP (or 40MP of the M10R) isn't as meaningful ... depending on what glass you are mounting onto the 24MP, M10.
On a different aspect, the DR of the Q2 isn't up to the same levels as the M10 (compare at P2P). If you tend to "push" your files a bit, you may find (imo) that the M10 (R in my case) files stay cleaner, longer.
The AF diff is obvious, so no discussion there.
The OIS diff vs. M10 ... just take a look at what you are doing with your M10M for handheld shutter speeds. Granted, the M10M operates at a diff base ISO without the BFA, but still ... understanding your limits of hand holding with a given lens focal length, etc. ... can be understood by your M10M use. You know what you're confident with ... vs. where you draw the line for handheld SS.
To that point, yeah ... you can be a smidge more "sloppy" with the Q2, because of the OIS, but again if you are an accomplished M10M shooter (vs. someone coming into M anew), I don't see this as a big deal.
Most of this (imo) adds up to the M10 paired with the M10M (Allen's setup, actually) being sound, even if "different" from the Q2.
One thing not mentioned (might not pertain) is the macro function of the Q2. If that's an aspect of significance for you, then the M10 might be losing that. If you don't go there, then it's another case of being a "not a big deal".
System compatibility of functionality between the M10M and M10 ... and battery / Visoflex / lens compatibility ... is a good thing. Will you miss the Q2? On some level, I think we always miss certain aspects of something we've enjoyed before. Personally, I dig on a leaf shutter, but I also dig on the mechanical shutter release tactile feel of my M's. Here again, you are already aware of those diff's in your M10M.
I've got an M10R and Q2 ... also, an M246 (instead of M10M) and SL2-S. When I shoot events and want AF, I'll pair up my SL2-S and Q2, so I can shoot two AF bodies without a lens change. But, my Q2 and M246 are the least of my shots. My M glass (either on M10R or on SL2-S) are easily more than my Q2. I still dig on it, but I use it FAR LESS than my M10R. I realize the resolution of the M10R vs. M10 isn't apples to apples, but my salient point is that I think you'll transition to life without the Q2 just fine. YMMV.
Anyway, just some .02 brain fodder, fer ya.
