As i recall it the Nikon F looked pretty impressive indeed but Leica's fortes were yet compactness, quieteness, ergonomy, accuracy, reliability, and of course IQ superiority. Some of those fortes have been forgotten since then so the question is how to regain them ASAP. All the rest is litterature IMHO.
