I've never sen the others that you mention so can't make a comparison. I'm sure others can. The plain "matt or ground glass" Leica screen makes a major difference for focusing anywhere on the screen, and you don't have that wiggily centre spot for distraction of the subject. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
