me too George...re  the price issue though significant, is small compared to 
the fact that focussing manually with the Sony NEX 7, presumably with the 
new Sony's, is much easier and more reliable than with the available Leica 
bodies.

Based on those facts and assumptions, I'd buy a Sony, if other things were 
to be equal, even if the price were the same....especially if a) the Sony 
was actually available and b) the strap lugs were secure.
