Leica Leica T - worth buying?

The T is an interesting system, likely held back mostly by the lack of a built-in viewfinder (likely to be rectified in the next model). The lenses are very highly acclaimed and the sensor, while an older Sony design, is outstanding.
 
If your expectations are for an extremely attractive and physically sturdy mirrorless camera that takes excellent (albeit limited and expensive) lenses, the Leica T would likely satisfy you. If you are after the traditional Leica experience of a viewfinder, manual focus lenses and physical controls, it probably won't. I'm of two minds about the Leica T because I already have a slew of m43 gear which renders the T largely unnecessary, although the build quality and overall design are really attractive.
