I'm jumping in, better late than never I guess ...
Leica is Leica and Fuji is Fuji. And that Leica can be whatever it desires to be, as Fuji can as well. I don't think Leica wants to be, nor is Fuji the minor league club for Leica. It is obvious that Leica and Fuji have used similar design criterium in the development of their selective cameras ... hence the similarities of the final products. Both companies have distinct and niche markets. I think nearly every Fuji buyer is potentially a Leica owner. I don't see any Leica owners selling their Leica's and replacing them with a Fuji. I think one of the principle and significant attractions to having Leica is not only owning one of the best cameras/lenses around but also owning one of the most expensive 35mm sensored cameras in the world. I must admit that owning a Leica and joining this exclusive and expensive club, appeals to my vanity, (I am a mere mortal).
