At the risk of awakening the nay-sayers, using Leica equipment has truly kept photography KISS simple for me.  Testing new equipment is for when I 'cheap-out' with other brands that have a long history of sample variation.

Buy it, take it out of the box, use it.  I'm willing to pay for that instead of wasting my valuable time testing stuff.  A bonus is that if I sell any of it and I've kept it in good shape the buyer knows it's not a 'bad copy' and is willing to pay for that.
