That's a good point

I have a pair of SL2s and have considered pulling the 
swapping the screen off my SL for the longer lenses.
How ironic it is that SLs with SL2 screens fetch
more than plain SLs. 

My take on it. 
You will use, admire and enjoy the SL2
but will eventually replace it with
an R4 5 6 or 7 and sit the SL2 on a shelf
The newer Rs are just more user friendly
and easier to focus, particularly the R5 and up.

Or as a not so famous 
rich guy once said
I love my 365BB 
but I use my 308GTB
for daily driving.

Happy New year all

Javier
