Nex vs Leica M ...besides IQ

I use both as the mood strikes me - periodic changes in pace and interface actually help my shooting style (as long as I've mastered the mechanics). I carry both and use one to backup the other.

The most interesting things about the Nex 7 (to me) are that the manual focus actually works reasonably well (once you get used to it) and that IQ is in the same ballpark as the M9. A really good alternative for those who already have M mount lenses.

I'm mildly astigmatic which shows up more as my pupils dilate in poor light, making rangefinder focusing more challenging. I have no difficulty focusing the Nex.
