Nice post ;-)

I would say that volume also comes into it an the Leica set will be much 
smaller than Nikon, and it does not seem as heavy ;-) Another pairing to 
look at, especially if you are happy to crop, is 28mm and 50mm. Of course if 
you buy an M (240) we all know that you will end up with at least one each 
of 28, 35, 50 and 75 (possibly plus more) ;-)

"The walkabout set, that I have half in mind when I think about Leica, is an 
M-240 together with 35mm and 75mm Summicrons.  According to Leica's website, 
that weighs 1365g.  With 1.5 cropping, I can get 24mm, 36mm, 50mm and 75mm 
from a set comprising a D800E and 24mm and 50mm primes, which weighs 1290g.
