Subject: [Leica] digital replacement for Contax T?

I've been enticed by:

and

Finding a single-focal-length small digital is a daunting task.

Yeah I'd love to have an M8. blah ditty blah.

But what I am really looking for is the best digital replacement for my
pocket ultra sharp film cameras. IE - what digital cameras compete well to
replace the Contax T (or T3, or Rollei 35 for that matter)

I have strongly considered the Ricoh GRD. While the GR1v I owned was a
stunner, 28mm FOV is a bit too wide for my taste.

Dream camera (at this nanosecond) would be somthing like the GRD with a 40mm
lens and faster RAW write time. Also considering the LX2 but I haven't
gotten my hands on one yet. A digital Leica CM would fit the bill nicely.

cameras I should consider?
