Of course it isn't going to perform five times better. There is not a linear relationship between price and performance. Disregarding the fact that you're paying a premium for the Leica badge, it is a question of diminishing returns. Probably 1/2 of the price of the Leica is for the last 5-10% in performance of that lens.
