I said "the four pros whom I know *personally*", emphasis added, Paul. There are many others that I don't know personally but know of who are using the M8 and finding it a good camera. The biggest reason to want an M8 is that you have a large investment in the lenses and want to put them to use on a digital capture body. At $5000, if you own six or seven recent Leica M lenses the price of the body is pretty cheap vs leaving those lenses sitting on the shelf because your business demands digital capture for efficiency and productivity.
Besides that, there's nothing flawed about my sample. It's small, yes. That does not make it flawed. It is a sample of four. Would you like the *T statistical average error value for that size sample? But what the heck. You're as entitled to your opinion, right or wrong, as I am. I believe Juan can be as enabled or unenabled as he wants to be. I'm sure he'll make up his own mind and do what he likes as suits him anyway.
