I have chosen for digital for other reasons. Regarding the Digilux 2, it is certainly a competent point and shoot, but nothing more than that. Aside from the red dot, it bears no resemblance to an M Leica. It is NOT a rangefinder; it does not even have an optical viewfinder--it is electronic only, and simply awful. Couple that with the high price, and I would strongly suggest you explore other options if you decide to switch to digital.
