Bob,
You might even be able to buy a Cosina with the sale of the Schneider (on a 
good day).
By all accounts the Scneider was the forerunner of the Summaron, there was 
an extensive essay on this theory in the LHS magazine some while back.

I've been using a 35 mm f2.8 Schneider Xenagon for about 40 years. Its a
pretty good lens, but frankly, I bought it because it was all I could 
afford
when I was15 years old. I've noticed that Schneider LTM lens are quite
collectable and go for a fairly high price on Ebay. Would I be better off
selling the Xenagon and buying one of the new f1.7 Cos/Voigt Ultrons?
