The question is: does your statement hold for the R8/R9 and is it likely to
hold for the R10 or whatever comes next? If not then focus confirmation may
on occasion be useful and if it unobtrusive it can be ignored if it is not
required. With my eyes getting weaker these issues are important. It is one
of the main reasons I see my SL2 pushing out my Nikon F3HP, but at the same
time I do occasionally use focus confirmation on the D200.
At the same time I have to ask if Leica could come up with such a fine
screen in the SL2 why was this feature not replicated in subsequent models
and why has it not been surpassed by other manufacturers?

I sincerely hope they don't! The best focus confirmation I've ever seen i=

the standard Leicaflex SL viewscreen=2E It's exceptionally accurate, quic=

and easy to use, works at every point on the screen and at nearly any
aperture=2E Every electronic focus or focus confirmation system I know of=
requires taking a substantial portion of light away from the viewfinder,
compromising viewfinder quality=2E
