I understand the dilemma. I spoiled myself by purchasing the Q2M in addition to having another Q camera so I can have the "best" of both worlds. My opinion is that the Q2M is worth the expense if you shoot higher ISO values, including low-light situations or want to make huge print. Otherwise, converting Leica color images is more than good enough. For this shot, I don't really think there was much of an advantage shooting the Q2M over a standard color sensor. Of course, going out with only the Q2M helps me to think, see, and record in B&W just as I did walking around with only Tri-X or another B&W film in my film camera all those years ago.
