Subject: 35mm M lenses

Another tedious question about equipment I'm afraid!

I'm going to buy a 35mm lens (used) and can't decide between
the Summicron for its compactness and lower weight, or the
Summilux for its larger aperture.  I'll be buying a non-ASPH as
I can't afford the aspherics, and if it's a Summilux it might have
to be an old one!  Is one considered "better" than the other for
any reason?  Which would you choose?

Thanks,
Simon.
