Haha. I lilke the Leica (and my Paxette) because it involves me more in the photo taking process. I have the light meter on order but I am quite good at using my own judgement now, and it's so much more rewarding when you get it right. I also love mechanical objects without batteries.
My Epson R-D1 is a nice balance too because I use the same lens, the camera is very similar to the Leica in feel and the low light performance is much better than the Leica M8 IMO.
I still love my DSLR and my film SLR but I guess the Leica (and manual cameras in general) are more involving.
