In my case I went with the winder. For me, It's a much better balance between the two components. It's slow on single exposures, and picks up the pace on 2 frames a sec. From what I could surmise by spending a couple of days with the camera and winder, is that the slow speed keeps vibration to a minimum. Between my Rollei and Canon, I've never used the high speed drive functions. Doing mostly portraits, I tend to be slow and deliberate using the wind as an assist so as not to be distracted from the subject. Yesterday, I spent 20 minutes on 24 exposures on 120, and that was forcing myself to slowdown. All of it on single frame advance. Next time I'll try the leica on a similar shoot.
