...should I take over ...?Will I have a chance to get a RX1R with a moderate scratch across the LCD which is not visible when the LCD is on for about $150 more than a Sigma 35mm ART lens and a USB module............ I am about to tell the guy I'll take it but am having trouble saying it.....
I think by most accounts I've read from owners of both is that there isn't much difference. Theres a slight sharpness edge to the R but also a higher chance of moire. Pick your poison. Might be easier to just digitally sharpen your RAWs ever so slightly.A new RX1 will cost me about 1.875 $. A RX1R 3.100 $.
The big question will be, is the extra 1.225 $ worth it, considering RAW files?
Or asked in another way: IF I'm going RX1, of the reason its the ultimate or better Leica Minilux, or Rollei 35, than those were, it doesn't give any meening going only half the way, that I realize. If the difference is that final edge, THAT touch, that will mentally "close the deal" (if I decide) then it would be ok for me.
What is the advice....???

Its only money...Will I have a chance to get a RX1R with a moderate scratch across the LCD which is not visible when the LCD is on for about $150 more than a Sigma 35mm ART lens and a USB module............ I am about to tell the guy I'll take it but am having trouble saying it.....
Yes..and I'm sure for the 96% of the matter it is a psychological problem, but to prevent being hit by the last 4% in my mind, I might consider going all the way....I have the RX-1. The RX-1r looks nice, but I have never felt the urge to "trade up.". I have never thought of my RX-1 as being soft or lacking resolution. Once you throw sharpening into your post processing, I am not sure there is any meaningful difference.
...or just let the RX1R be the 75%-of-the-time-camera with those stellar captures, and later supplied by a 7 II+16-36+tele for the rest of the time (or "just" a Oly M5II with those more affordable and les bulky (upcoming) 7-14 + 12-40.Excellent...... as I look at these images there is just something special about them. I see a similar look with A7R images but in my opinion the RX1 and RX1r images just nudge them out a full heads length with that step into the image type appearance.
Now if I can just get past the feeling of limitation a single focal length camera has. My DP2m doesn't get used more because it is a one trick pony. Maybe the better higher iso capabilities of a RX1r will keep it in my hands more often than not. The idea of getting a a9 or a7rII with a 55mm is compelling but I also would have focal length options with their excellent 16-35 and 70-200 glass. Not to mention my legacy glass I use on my Nex camera's.
Decisions, decisions.....
