Another part says to buy a new Leica lens, either the 90 or a Noct. The Leica lens side is winning. I know that in 5 years the DSLR will be worth about as much as a postage stamp and we'll learn that bytes actually fade with time. But the 90 will just be broken in. And, of course, by then Nikon will have a 10,000 scanner out. Not only will it scan full rolls at even higher res (squeezing even more from the 90), but it'll make coffee, too. A Mr. Coolscan?
