Considering the Q, but will I be I regret my decision?

After much thought I am selling my beloved M9, keeping my 50 Lux asph, and getting the Q. I am happy with my decision. 

Thank you all for your help.

 

I think that is wise. The Q is quite good to be sure, compact, light, reasonably succinct. It is a terrific compliment to the M. But in the end, it is not an M. Likely someday you'll be tempted to acquire another version at which point you'll be quite happy you kept the Summilux. Personally, I prefer the output from the M10, but not enough to have sprung for a 'lux 21, which takes up nearly as much space in the bag as a Q.   Stepping up from a M9, I suspect you'll be quite happy with the rendering.  Best of luck.

I don’t think you will regret it. I sold my my M9 & 28,50 & 90mm lenses about 3 months ago. With my failing eyesight the Q has brought a new lease of life back to my photography. I’m enjoying taking photographs again.
