Subject: focus lever or knurled ring?

There has been some discussion on this group about the redesign of the 50mm 
Summicron-M to replace the focus lever with a knurled focus ring. Can I ask 
which arrangement members prefer, and why? Also, is it possible to have the 
factory or someone else (I am in the UK) convert a lens from one focus type to 
the other. My 35mm Summilux-M aspheric is of the second type and so has the 
focus lever but no knurled ring. Its predecessor had a knurled ring (possibly 
also a lever - can anyone advise?) I would like to have the knurled ring if 
possible.
