It is a very personal choice and one person's pleasure is another's pain. I like my 0.58x a great deal and it has become my main camera. As you do occasionally use a 135mm lens, you might want to go to the 0.72x as the 0.58x does not have any 135mm framelines. It is possible to switch finders and the cost is around $600 or so in $US but the 0.58x finder is not available as a spare part yet. One enterprising Leica-User bought an 0.58x camera and had all the bits transplanted to his camera (a BP millennium). He then sold the donor, now a 0.72x TTL. This is probably the least expensive way to go.
