Subject: [Leica] 50mm Summilux vs Noctilux

Aside from the big size and cost difference, I'm trying to decide if the
Noctilux is a better lens for my style of photography over the Summilux.
I love the idea of being able to use the Noctilux in near darkness. I've
missed many photo opportunities in the past when I'm caught without a
flash. There is no doubt about the qualities of the Noctilux in the
dark, but how does it compare to the Summilux when taking pictures
outdoors during the daylight hours? I am looking for that perfect lens
that I can leave on my M6 for maybe 95 percent of the time. Opinions on
either of these lens would be greatly appreciated.
