Gene,

It all boils down to whether you'll choose to buy a 4/3 or FF Leica M if 
both 
are available. Also, it's up to Leica Solms whether to offer both models.

My personal take is that, if the majority of us had a choice we'd choose a 
FF 
M. I think that an objective Solms decision would be to go for the MFF. The 
logic is simple. It's cheaper to produce one model than two of the same 
class 
of M. With the MFF, Leica won't have to go into conniptions to work out 
focal 
frames for existing Leica lensses.

In the pricing comparison I made an error. I meant the Nikon D200, not the 
D50.

Bob
