What I meant my the "ultimate" Leica experience is in reference to what makes
Leica Rangefinders stand out. I use and love my R system as well, but it's not
as different from other camera lines in terms of ergonomics, size, silence and
accuracy in focusing high speed wide angle lenses as the M6 is. 

As for optics, or other functions for which an SLR is the best choice, then
there the Leica R stands as a wonderful system that gives the best optics
available, and a handling characteristic that is second to none.
