Brian Bower in Leica M Photography recommends the later 90/2.8 Tele-
Elmarit as a smaller, lighter (and I would add, cheaper) alternative to
the current 90/2.8 Elmarit-M with comparable optical quality. He
specifically recommends the _later_ Tele-Elmarit. I got one of these
fairly recently but haven't seen any results yet. It is appreciably
smaller than the alternatives though and very pleasant to use.
