I have a Leica R6 and am considering the purchase of either a motor drive or
winder.  The drive allows 4 frames per second and takes 10 batteries, while
the winder allows 2 fps and takes 6.  Anyone have any experience with either
of these add-ons?  I'm interested in your experience, especially with regard
to:

o  Reliability
o  The usefulness of the winder's 2 fps (vs. 4 with the drive)
o  Loudness of one vs. the other
o  The additional need for the hand grip that Leica sells
o  Overall satisfaction

My understanding is that I can use the same drive or winder on my R6 that is
currently sold for the R6.2 or R7.  Thanks.
