Terrible light transmission properties ;-) Definitely all glass and no plastic will be fine. Now for the mounts we'll be happy with meticulously machined metal.

The price of the glass itself they are willing to use a nice chunk as I was saying. And as you're saying I think; quality manufacturing workmanship being the main thing. __ I hear of these floating elements in zooms made of plastic. I'd think in the high priced Leica spread they'd be for sure metal. And real nice metal at at that! So one bump and you don't then have a real soft lens.
