George Day is undecided between 35mm Summilux and Summicron. My advice is do 
not underestimate the size/weight of the Summilux. I am fortunate and have 
both and use them 50:50. The Summicron is a jewel. When I want to travel 
light I carry M4 + 35 Summicron + 90 Rokkor. When I can travel heavy I carry 
M5 + 35 Summilux + 90 Summicron. (The Summilux ASPH and Summicron APO 
balance better on the M5 IMHO).

So, don't be beguiled by the higher value lenses - decide what your 
photographic priorities are and you will end up using the lenses more often.
