I have a late model Summilux, and I really love it.  It appears very 
crisp wide open with minimal flare.  I am a big fan of the shallow DOF 
look which has gone by the wayside (did you see that the new Canon ELPH's 
zoom tops out at f/9.9?).  It seems to me to be a good compromise between 
the compactness of the Summicron and the uncompromising low-light ability 
of the Noctilux.
