Chris I completly agree with you about R Leicas being a real bargain.  
How I got invovled in R leicas about 10 years ago our house was 
burgularized and all of my 35mm eguipmant was stolen.  I had a very nice 
Leica M system.  And a very extensive Canon SLR system,  In fact I took 
it as a personal affront when Canon Discontinued the FD mount.  When 
looking around for a new SLR I realized that only Leica and Nikon never 
changed there mounts.  SO since I hate Nikon, I bought into the R system. 
 And what has surprised me the most is the bad rap that the R bodies 
system gets from the detractors.  I have been very pleased with the the R 
system conponents that I have owned.  The lenses are stunning, I get the 
Leica glow from the R lenses, and they are a bargain compared to M 
lenses (when purchased used).  I trully enjoy my R and M systems.
