I can´t compare the Noctilux with the summilux, but I am quite pleased with the results when I have used it in daylight and with F stop other than f/1.0. One of my favorite combination is M6 (0.72x) + Noctilux + M6 Grip + ASA 400. For me the 0.72 has an advantage, I can use the view finder like a "high-eye-point" view finder, I have never had a problem focusing the lens at F1.0.
