I borrowed one once, because I wanted to try my 24mm f2 Nikkor on an M body.
It wasn't 
a successful marriage. The Nikon lens is really too big, and despite the DoF
I longed 
for a r/f (especially at f2).

"I don't think the extra stops on the Nikon are going to do me much good

Don't forget that *neither* of the systems you're considering is rangefinder
coupled.
