That's the one issue that came up to me - for $2500, you can get a 
Nikon D100 and a set of good primes. The price-point on the RD-1 would 
have to drop quite a bit for me to see it as competitive with the 
DSLRs. (Or be shown to really take advantage of the 'superior' Leica 
glass.)

(Not that I'll be able to afford a D-anything in the near future, but 
it's fun to think about it.)
