It is an amazingly sharp lens and of course more affordable than the 180/2. Tough call on whether the current 100/2.8 or the 180/2.8 is the best Leica prime lens made for the R System. Another lens to consider is the Leica 70-180/2.8 zoom. This lens at 180mm rivals the 180/2.8 lens plus you can cover the range down to 70mm. If I could only purchase one lens in this focal lenght I'd go for the 70-180.
