Hendrik wondered about the aspherical 35mm leica M lens.

Look, I'm an amateur, albeit, I suppose, somewhat more informed than the 
average.  Thus, I approach things differently from those of you who are 
leica-techies, and professionals.  Hendrik, if you really think that you'll 
see enough of a difference using the larger aspherical lens, then go for it!  
The larger size and intimidating price would turn alot of us off.  If price is 
no object, and one must have the very best, get the aspherical and leave 
the lens comparisons to the laboratory bench. If your current 35mm does 
what you need, spend the money on two additional lenses, pack them up, and 
enjoy your camera.

My very best wishes,

Elliot
