[Leica] Quality (was un-believable)

I believe "much thicker" is only about 2 or 3 mm. ?Hardly worth noting in my 
experience. ?Sort of like the argument that the 1 mm taller M6TTL destroyed 
the look and ergonomics of the camera - Total bunk in my opinion. ?If 
anything, the thicker M8 is easier to hold tightly.
