Primarily I think it's the shape of the camera. The rounded sides of the Leica feel better in my hands then the square sides of the Hexar RF (I assume that the 
Hexar II is the same shape as the RF) . Also I'm more used to the placement and feel of the Leica shutter release and the advance lever, I never did get 
completely used to the auto advance on the Hexar. Don't get me wrong I think that the Hexar is a great piece of equipment and have been very pleased with 
the results I got from mine, but it always had an indescribable "foreign" feel to it. Not quite that familiar feel of a Leica, (I've been using Leicas for nearly forty 
years now and you get used to them).
