No.  A lot of Leica users and collectors believe that M4-2 and M4-P are not 
up to M4 or M3 in quality and solidity.  I am just one of them.  It is pretty 
tough to explain it in words.  You can feel it.  I think one reason for that 
is that Leitz sacrificed a little bit of quality for cost reduction.

     You should try yourself.
