Rob,
Leitz were so concerned with the unevenness that they modified the 
diffusion box of the V35 during its production run.
This took it from good to very good.
I'll try and dig out the further facts. I've been trying to locate one of 
the later diffusion boxes, and though Leica UK still have some in stock, 
they're asking around 350 USD for them!

The most common problem with other enlargers is evenness of illumination. 
The corners of your print often receive 1/4 to 3/4 of a stop less light 
than the center, resulting in light corners which must be burned in.  Buy 
the V35 and you will not have that problem.  It makes you want to go in the 
darkroom and print.

Good luck,
