Eric,

The 20D is a somewhat improved version of the 10D which I bought about a 
month ago (8 vs. 6 MP is the main difference). Based on my experience so 
far with the Canon lenses, albeit limited, the Canon primes are very 
good indeed--I have the 1.4/50mm and the 1.8/85mm and I am extremely 
pleased with both.

But the best part is that you do not have to give up your Leica R glass. 
In my most recent PAW I posted some pictures taken with the 100mm Apo 
Macro mounted on the 10D using Stephen Gandy's adapter. It works very well.
