Is this a hint to > the fact that the R8 is expensive or what? Perhaps what they mean is: the R8 is so good that you'll smile after taking your money out of the bank to buy it. But you're right, the wording is unusual. Perhaps the advertising people want to make people ponder the words and think about Leica. So why was the price reduced on the R8? I thought demand at the original price was already pretty high. Aren't people who just bought one at the higher price upset? - -Dave
