I think that the rebate is merely a way for Leica to address large temporary fluctations in currency values, and to make temporary price changes, without taking the more drastic step of changing their list prices. If they change their list prices, they need to reprint and distribute their dealer price lists and catalogs, etc. Because they don't know what the future of the relative currency values will be, they offer the rebate for a couple of months at a time, giving them the option to cancel or continue it depending on what happens. I don't think that you can read anything more into it than that. I doubt that this is a secret sign that there is about to be an M7, and even if they announced it today, look how long people had to wait to actually get an R8. - - Paul
