Overall I believe the issue is "set" of lenses..... What "set" of lenses
would you be comfortable carrying, withouot the FL getting too close.

I use the Noctilux for indoors and portraits.  My "other" short tele is the
90/2.8 Skinny Tele Elmarit.  An F2.8 lens gives too much DOF for my taste
wide open for portraits....  The Lux is just fine there.  I Never liked the
90/2 Summicron.

I am a proponent of the FL doubling rule......... 15, 35, 75mm lenses are a
fine set for me.  The 15, 24, 50, 90 would be equally nice.  But a 15, 21,
24, 28, 35, 50, 75, and 90 weighs too much and offers great variation in
lenses, but IMHO takes away from the image concentration.
