Absolutely agree.

If I were using only a financial POV, an RD1 would have been the right 
choice.

Buying an M8 made sense when they dropped to less than $2500, with 
warranty, from Leica.  But the filters infuriated me.

That annoyance cost me another $3K.

Perhaps I should just be thankful that I had the money to resolve the 
annoyance.
