Mark, the Leica Inquisition will be visiting you shortly...

I had a chance to play with the N1 at a Contax Day at Werner's in Denver a few weeks
back. This is a very intelligently designed camera, with the best approach t0 AF/AE
I've seen yet. Uses Canon's AF motor-in-lens approach, has evaluative metering, and
handles nicely. If I wanted an AF SLR, I would certainly consider the N1. The 24-85
handled nicely and appears relatively distortion-free; I would like to test it
sometime. They did not have he macro yet.
