Subject: [Leica] Summicron 90/2 vs. the Elmarit 90/2.8

I am presently considering the purchase of a new 90 mm lens (m) and wondered
what the most significant differences were between the Summicron 90/2 (non
APO/Asph) and the Elmarit 90/2.8 i.e. apart from the obvious speed and
weight.  In Canada, there is an approximate $300 difference between the two
lenses.  Given the choice, which would you select?

I would appreciate any thoughts and apologize if this subject has been
discussed recently.  Thanks.

Karim
