Peter, unless you buy an airfare, I can't assist with a hands-on trial. 
However, maybe I can contribute. I have the cheaper model
which is made in a gusset style. It has the moulded bump.
It adds good security, I find, especially for a vertical hold. My hands are 
just medium sized. It is also very stable on a flat
surface due to the two discrete edges along the base. Not suitable, however 
to have the tripod mount added into the base, if that is
a consideration for you.

Leica seem to have duplicated this bump arrangement in their new half case 
designs. I would think that the feel of the two is
similar.  Luigi does make case variations with a built in full height spacer 
to duplicate the full grip, if you care for that. 

Cheers

Does anyone in or near Seattle have an M camera with a Luigi half case?

I tried the Leica half case (aka "camera protector," but it doesn't quite 
fit my hand. I have size 13-14 feet (U.S. size) and hands proportionately 
long. The Luigi cases have a bump on the front fo the fingers of the right 
hand. I'd like to hold one and see how it feels before I order.
