I wouldn't trade my M5 for any other Leica out there. (Especially now that there are inexpensive alternatives to the lenses that recede deeply into the body and can't be used with the M5 or CL meter arm.) Their un-Leica like size, shape and heft wear on you until you either put it down in disgust or fall in love with the easy to use SS dial, better info VF, self timer, spot meter, etc...
