No experience of course, but using an M240 (or any Leica really) with a
50/2 Summicron or the 50/1.4 ASPH is already like driving a $130,000
Maserati on 205 to Yosemite - on the straight away, it goes really fast but
stuck in Manteca? Not so much. On the Valley floor? Practically obscene.

Using the 50/2 ASPH Summicron is like adding a wing spoiler for another
$100,000. It might add that little oompf, but boy do you pay for that ommpf.
