Hey I'd have no esthetic problem with that!
If you wanted to bring home a digital capture with the rest of your film you're
not going to do it with a Leica!
And Leica optics we found out last we makes no darned digital difference!
A Nikon D1X bumping up against a Leica on the same neck makes perfect sense to me!
They both have COMPLETELY different jobs to do.

This is not the same as having a 1.4 Summilux 35 on a Leica body around your
neck and a 1.4 canon AF EOS on an hanging off the other shoulder. To me those
metals don't match.
But if you had two brains maybe it would be different. Two souls.  Two Gods. Two
luminaries in the sky.
If you could switch between two operating systems with a flick of a switch then fine.
Maybe a blond wig for when you shoot Canons!
