D lux 7 or...?

Is this a good choice for a camera that you can always have with you and that you won't regret leaving the Q2 at home, or is it better to go for another camera?

I do not have a Q2. I had a Typ 109 and like it a lot. I traded it in for a D-Lux 7 when it came out of the market. The D-lux 7 is not good in low light condition and you really have to shoot at the largest aperture. However, in bright sunny days, It matches 95% the output in colour and resolution of my M10 with 35/50 Summilux. The D-Lux 7 is my grab and go camera. Even though the X-Vario is in the same class, somehow, I like the D-Lux 7 more because it is faster, smaller and IQ is better too.

I got a D-lux 7 to use as a travel camera to back up my Hasselblad X1D.   I've been happy with it for the most part but images can be a little noisy, mostly those that have any sky in them.  Raw files come out a little flat but most of that can be corrected in post.  One little trick I use is to do minimum global corrections in Lightroom and do more corrections/enhancements using local adjustments.  That seems to keep the noise levels down when any sharpening is used.  

If I had to do it over again, though, I would probably go with a CL to be able to change lenses.  I plan on using the D-Lux 7 until the next CL comes out, hopefully with IBIS.
