To me it seems like the M system or rangefinder shooting is most ideal for
streets or photojournalism but also works out fine for plenty of commercial
work.
I think plenty of people who are very comfortable with ground glass shooting
learn to do without it to enjoy the wonders of cutting edge Leica glass
which is a hop step and a jump above Canon Nikon.  And also they come to see
the advantages rangefinder  viewfinder shooting.
I think if you are flexible enough like you are to use a twin lens
Rolleiflex in this day and age instead of a Hasselblad SLR then Leica m use
should not be that much of a stretch.
I think the glass is worth it. And sometimes one needs to pay a visit to
ones bank guy.
