I posted exactly this comment and then I noticed yours. Are these camera's actually comparable or is it apples and oranges?

Yes and no.
They are comparable, in that they are both fairly compact, fixed prime lens cameras that offer high quality (camera build and image).
They are not comparable,as the Leica has a better/faster autofocus system. In theory it has better optics as well, though I haven't seen a side-by-side.
A good friend is a professional photographer. His carry-around fun camera is the X100T. I think his professional-grade stuff is Nikon. I'm sure he'd love the Leica, but it's a lot of money for what is unlikely to be used professionally (at least not by him).
