I agree with Mark.  The customer base that Leica is chasing does not have a 
significant problem with the extra $2k for the top of the line vs a dumbed 
down model.  In fact, if you are buying your first Leica, and you represent 
a certain luxury market segment, purchasing a less than ultimate model is a 
failure.

The reality of the 262 is that the differences are or at least appear to be 
totally firmware issues over the M240. 

Nice marketing idea to have 240 users buy a new second body and new to Leica 
users to have a need to buy glass,  where Leica really makes money.
