In case someone is interested an update - sometime ago, just before I sold the X (113), I had the opportunity to handle a nice Vario (107). For me, the camera felt clumsy and the size of the lens did not lend itself be my travel camera. I took a couple of dozen photos, and while various bloggers commented on the "underrated" quality of said lens, for me, IMO, just my 2ct, the magic did not happen, especially in comparison to the (much more expensive) Q2.
