Sorry, I was meaning as an alternative rangefinder style camera, rather than 
simpler or bigger. I started this as why pay the extra money these days over 
Fuji...

There were different choices to be sure... off the top of my head: Pentaxes 
and minoltas of various grades, Practicas, Canon SLRs and rangefinders, 
Konica SLRs and Ricoh fixed-lens P&S, the Nikon F and Nikkormats, 
Instamatics from cheap disposables to Kodak SLRs with Schneider lenses.  
Most if not all were substantially less costly than the contemporaneous 
Leicas.
