I couldn't agree more...

especially Vick,  if you have to ask 5 times...  :-)

in any case, buy new or code  U  demo...one year warranty....

but if Leica did M8 repairs as an act of good will, imagine how much  
good will that would generate...

seems in my limited experience and hearsay...when there has been a  
problem, it has been easily in the first couple of months...
