Are the super wide R lenses the "sleepers" of the Leica line?

Are they good?  Better than their M equivalents? 
YES, you see what you are shooting ;-)

ie:
15/2.8 R
15/3.5 R
19/2.8 R


Considering 35 is the normal focal length for real leica shooters, 
I would draw a line there with respect to SWA 


the following are : FWA   24/2.8 R 
and  WA   28/2.8 R


Should you really need an R24 contact me on a Friday as I'm no longer using 
mine due to the hOly 7-14 RUWAZ.
