Subject: 35mm M lenses...

So I finally made the plunge as a new owner of a Leica M6 with 50mm f2.0
Summicron...

I'm now pining for a 35mm.  Near mint non-aspherical f2's can be had for
$800-$1,000, it seems. Maybe even a few new ones around? Is it worth the
wait (they seem to be hard to come by) or the extra $$$ ($1495) for the new
Aspherical 35mm f2?

Also,  I really dislike neck straps hanging from my cameras, and even with
my Passport garantee, would rather not have my new investment dropping out
of my hand... Anyone use the  Leica "M-grip"?
