Only if you simply love the ergonomics of the smaller R camera, and "crave" the mechanical features of the 6 series cameras, would you even vaguely consider it. The R7, as the end of a line was a well developed and reliable camera. The R8 is the best manual camera I've used (including the R7) and now with Leica's 5 year warranty it can be recommended without fear. I love my R8 despite the problems I had with an early model, and the lens system is fantastic. Cheers Alastair
