Sure you can afford another Leica system. A mint- R6 will set you back
similar bucks to a new Nikon or Canon body. Same with lenses. The beauty of
buying mint- Leica equipment from reputable dealers is that the user before
you, had, in all liklihood, the same regard for the equipment as you would.
The dealers will give you, typically, 10 to 14 days money back for any
reason warranty, in add'n to a year parts and labor beyond that.
Unless you really want AF, LEDs, control functions etc., give thought to the
above. You stay with the marque and continue to have complete control and
the use of lenses that you can rely on to be as good as any and better than
most, across the board.
