Default Leica Digital v. Canon EOS system

Hi Everyone, Thank you for reading my thred. I am pretty new to community, but I have been around observing for quite a while.

I currently have two Leica bodies R5 and R8 and some typical lenses, nothing facy, for my film photography. I also have Canon Rebel with some standard lenses for typical digital use.

I know this must be really irretated question, but I am considering to upgrade my Canon Digital to Leica Digital, but I am weighting the pros and cons for me to do that. I am considering, for now, to trade all my canon system for Digilux 2, until I am capable of getting DMR for my R8. (Sorry I'm not keen to the M photography, and never yet try one)
Well, either this or getting a proper L lens for my digital. Or should I just wait until I can get a hand on DMR, somehow along 5 years Ha Ha Ha, I hope the price will come down soon. The D3 is not yet in my agenda, I want to wait until it grow a while. (I do not know why should we buy interchangeable lens SLR without any lens yet available.)

Anyway, I kind of like considering many aspect of it. The D2 will give me a Leica look (Especially good for my gear bag) and wide range of compact capability for less investment on the lens. Although that is the deal, it will also limit the range of photography I can achieve from my digital SLR and canon L lens.

I really thank you for all your time, I appreciate all of them.
