I've already bought one (waiting on the govt to approved the wifi before it can ship). My logic is simply that I love the 18 and 21 SEMs, and the 135 APO. Having an EVF that shows me the real image without need for the Visoflex is a major plus for me.
Yes, it's expensive. But a Sony A1 is $7k. Yes, the Sony does "more" but I buy Leicas because of the heritage, hand built nature, size, materials, lens quality, and simplicity. You don't need fancy computer-aided features to take great pics. I have other digital cameras that have all those features. But I just love holding the Leicas I own and they're a pleasure to use.
My only concern is whether I can get efficient focusing with the focusing aids. If I get along with that, I'll have found my ideal M.
