Right. Bottom line should be whatever YOUR bottom line is. ;-) The
finder makes great sense, because we who love rangefinders love them
because of the rangefinder...duh...so a brighter, finder, a more
accurate finder, and the instinct is GRAB IT! :-)

For me it is "the finder, stupid!" Not that the glass hasn't been a 
source of delight. I fell in love with the finder and learned to love 
the glass. Bottom line? If someone else makes a better digital M body 
with just as good (or better?) a finder then that is the one I will 
buy.
