Peter, I've been using Leicas for a few years, and my experience runs counter to your 
suggestions other than camera
geeks fawning over the name.  The best that's ever happened was that a woman with a 
hairy back that came to pull the
crab grass from my lawn commented on how silly a fat old bald guy looked wearing Leica 
jewelry around his neck.
Admittedly, I never had so much attention when carrying a Pentax.
