Me thinks thou protests too much.

Differences exist:
digital file differences
lens differences
sensor differences
software differences
ergonomic differences
and more

not better (necessarily)
different.

pick up the one you like
for the task at hand
and make photographs.

I shoot with 3 different systems
Leica M8, R8/DMR, Canon 5D.

I use all three for what I consider their best use.

If someone said, "you can only keep one system"
I'd have a hard time choosing
yet I think, at this moment, I'd choose the M8
simply because I choose it to make the photographs
closest to my heart - most of the time.
