Has any of you tried the this combo?  One will it fit, or will the photos suffer vignetting ?

Why do you want a flash? A LED ringlight is far more practical as you can preview the lighting.

Not sure if a led matches the output of a flash…

I have the flash but use it on the SL. As it is a round flash, vignetting for sure will happen as the light falls off in a round shape.

If you are worried that the flash itself will obstruct the view and therefore cause a vignette, this all depends how you position the camera in the flash. The mount is rather versatile, so one can position the camera far enough in front.

this will work on a tripod, handheld will not be comfortable.

I Just spoke to a retailer who tried fitting the Flash/Light on the Q3 and they responded with "it doesn't fit".  But works well off camera.

The r200 Is a light and flash, I've seen the r200 in action and was impressed. esp for my purposes.  But have not seen it with a Leica.

You don't really need high power for ringflash when used for macro.  Many have a guidenumber of 8 or 16. High-power ringflashes are mostly used in portrait and model photography, and those are available in LED as well.
