When I need a Tele shot then the R8/DMR comes out, if I need a wa to normal, then the M8 comes out. Not a hard decision at all.

You know the difference between a cheap battery and a "certified Leica" battery? (I don't know myself, it could be $100 and a logo) You do have 5 so that's pretty good insurance. So how do you decide to whether to swing your D3 vs. M8/9 into action?
