Hey.. that's a $11K statement.... or more....

You are perpetuating the Leica=Rich folk scenario.

Most of us can not afford a Noctilux, or $5-8K Summilux.  

No less a few of them.

SW is basically free.... and certainly a one time investment on a new
camera.  The whole noise issue has a SW workaround fix.. see Nikon if you do
not believe this...
Leica: Focus on the SW, forget the $11K lenses.

My $0.02 of advice.

Leica has such a great inventory of fast lenses that going to ISO Light of a
Bright Idea seems important only if you're trying to impress someone with
your spec sheet.
