Steve,

For sure a Leica/Contax debate is not of interest to this debate (nor
practically anywhere IMO). They're both great cameras with great
lenses and differ enough in handling and lens character to where
people will have their own opinions and feelings about them. I have a
G2 and love it but am also planning on getting an M body and a couple
M lenses too---not to replace, but to achieve a different result.

I was just curious why Alan was giving a one-liner advice/opinion as
to a Leica being better than the G2 when he says in another post that
he "never looked at the G2".  Maybe it's an opinion he's sure he'd
have if he had ever looked at or used the G2?  ;-)
