Re: Leica M11-V to be announced (Now called Leica M EV1)

It seems sooner or later this camera will be officially announced, even though the latest rumors suggest it might have been postponed, at least in the US.
For those curious:
Is this camera the one you've been waiting for, or do you still prefer focusing with the traditional rangefinder on an M body?
Would you consider an M body with an EVF to complement your M Rangefinder for situations where it makes sense (ultra wide, telephoto, close-focus, macro, etc.), potentially owning two or more Leica M cameras?
For those not actively considering it: How do you think the EVF experience will compare to our current mirrorless cameras? And if it exceeds expectations, would that experience be enough to make you consider getting one?
I'm curious how many of us fall into each camp
I am on the camp where I am very comfortable using the range finder when using the OVF or simply shooting from the hip. I dont use the Visoflex 2 at all, so my curiosity was simply to see how Leica was going to implement the EVF into this next model. I see no use at this stage of my life for a full time built in EVF on a Leica M body. My true pleasure comes from using the unique range finder mechanism and distance scales on its lenses. My fav pairings are 28mm /40mm or 35mm alone )
