     Here's my recollection:
     
     Leica CL and Leitz/minolta CL
     
     Manual Shutter Speed Range -       1/2 to 1/1000 sec
     ASA range                  -       25-1600
     Finder Frame Lines         -       40/50/90
     Non Dedicated Hot shoe
     Shutter Speed selection in viewfinder
     Front Mounted Shutter Speed knob concentric of the ASA setting 
     mechanism
     Completely removable back and baseplate-similar to the Rollei 35 
     series and Contax II/III and Contax T
     Metal top and bottom plates, metal frame and body
     Battery - PX 13/PX 625
     
     
     Minolta CLE
     
     Electronic Shutter Speed Range     -       1 to 1/1000 sec
     ASA Range                          -       25-3200
     Finder Frame Lines                 -       28/40/90
     Dedicate Hot Shoe-TTL-OTF flash automation
     TTL OTF Metering in Aperture Priority Mode
     Aperture Priority automation-shutter indications appear
     Manual Exposure control-no shutter indications appear in finder-No     
       apparent means of learning suggested metering exposure
     Top mounted shutter speed control 
     Electronic Self Timer
     Electronic Exposure Compensation
     Hinged back
     Polycarbonate top and bottom plates, metal frame and body
     Battery  MS 76, LR 44
     The electronic exposure system is taken from the Minolta XG-1 camera.
     
     
     Hope this helps.

Could someone who is familiar with these two cameras please list their 
features and explain the differences? This information seems quite hard 
to come by. I notice most of the discussion here is about the CL but the 
CLE sneaks an honourable mention here and there.
