The Summilux never disappoints, but the Noctilux often adds something (a variety of aberrations, to be exact) that make a picture more interesting. And sometimes, f/1 dof is more interesting than f/1.4 dof. BTW, the Nokton f/1.1 rendering rather disappoints me; it's too much like that of the f/1.5. It certainly is no Noctilux. In fact, as a gross comparison, the 50/1.1 is to the Noctilux f/1 like the Nokton f/1.5 is to the pre-asph Summilux 50. That's not exactly true, of course but in terms of rendering it comes close.
