Mine is just opposite to yours and based in my experience as I've shooted firstly with a small sensor and afterward with a, so called, full format sensor. So for me it's necessary as the output is measurably better. Maybe not for others. But I'd like to distinguish between necessary and affordable. So, to come back on topic, I'm afraid Leica may be mistaken with his R digital back not being full format. He tried to but it was too expensive. So smaller means cheaper not better. Another matter about I'm in doubt is the choice of mass storage being, again in my experience and in my opinion, much better the CF than SD (I think) cards chosen by Leica for the R back probably for a size issue.
