Zeiss Ikon ZM SW Superwide Camera

Could I ask what is the benefit of using this body over any other regular rangefinder camera with the same lenses?

Counter question, what is the benefit of a built in view- and rangefinder with an uncoupled lens and external viewfinder?
 
Somehow I don´t get the concept of this camera! with the Bessa L it was the cheapest alternative for using the 15 Heliar and this worked sales wise but 1000$ for AE in Superwide?? Ain´t TTL lightmeters fooled easily by WA lenses anyways?
otoh I salute Zeiss for bringing out exotic Film equipment in these digital times!
BUT I much rather have my Leica Standard WA (Leica L or whatever you wanna call it ;) ) plus incident light meter...

What does this camera provide me over my Canon Model P and Gossen Luna Pro--$400 total? CV wide/ superwide lenses come w/ a dedicated VF. Am I missing something here?
