Subject: [Leica] No more M8.2!!!

So now the pricing for the X1 makes sense:

Compact, and "inexpensive" single lens -> X1, $2000,
Compact, just-like-your-grandfather's M3, except digital -> M9, $6999.99
Big kill-everything-on-sight mofo shooting machine -> S2, 
$do-you-have-to-ask?

New -> Orphaned, 3 years. RIP M8 and M8.2

I think this bodes well for used M8, M8u, M8.2 prices, and may be
smart for Leica - it is giving M8 owners a chance to sell off the M8x
and upgrade to the M9.
